Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claim was issued in the Leeds Employment Tribunals on 22 August 2022. The respondent did not present a valid response on time, and Employment Judge Bright determined the claim under Rule 21 of the Employment Tribunals Rules of Procedure 2013.
The tribunal upheld the complaint of unauthorised deductions from wages and ordered My Staff Direct Limited to pay Miss A Swift the gross sum of £540.00.
The judgment also recorded that the tribunal had no jurisdiction to award compensation for employer contributions to National Insurance within an unauthorised deductions claim, because those contributions are not included in the statutory definition of wages. The hearing listed for 24 October 2022 was cancelled.

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.
