Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe hearing was at Leeds on 13 August 2019 before Employment Judge Lancaster. The respondent did not attend. The tribunal amended the respondent's title to Yorkshire Rescue Services (BFD) Limited and upheld the claimant's claim for unauthorised deductions from wages.
On that claim, the tribunal ordered payment of £3,168 for unpaid gross wages for April 2019, £1,500 for unpaid gross overtime, £100 for an outstanding specialist equipment payment, and £2,880 for four weeks' notice pay, making £7,648 in total.
The tribunal also found that the respondent had failed to pay for 4.45 days of accrued but untaken holiday in the leave year commencing 1 April 2019 and awarded £640.80 gross under the Working Time Regulations 1998. It declared under s.12 ERA 1996 that no itemised pay statement had been given for February, March, April or May 2019, but made no further compensation order under s.26 ERA 1996. Separately, it found a failure to provide a written statement of terms and conditions compliant with s.1 ERA 1996 and made an increased award of two weeks' pay, £1,440, under s.38 Employment Act 2002.

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.
