Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal found that the respondent had made unauthorised deductions from the claimant’s wages. The award of £21,634.50 was calculated from unpaid wages for January, February and March 2022 at £6,000 gross per month, together with unpaid pension contributions from June 2021 to March 2022 at £363.34 per month.
On the dismissal claim, the tribunal declared that the claimant was constructively unfairly dismissed on 1 April 2022. It awarded a basic award of £1,088 and, having found that the employment would have ended on 30 April 2022 in any event, limited compensation to one month’s loss of wages, with credit for sums earned in alternative employment during April 2022. The compensatory award was £1,561.42.
The total award was £24,283.92, to be paid by 2 December 2022.

How we got this data
Case essentials (reference, date, judge, venue, country, claim categories) are extracted from the structured metadata gov.uk publishes alongside each decision. Parties and monetary figures are extracted from the judgment PDF text. Key findings and per-claim outcomes require a second extraction pass that is not yet complete for this case — until then, the primary source linked above is the authoritative record.
