Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal heard the matter remotely by video on 29 January 2021 before Employment Judge S Shore. It recorded the respondent's name as FGS Services (UK) Limited and amended the records accordingly. No lay members are listed, and the judgment does not identify any discrimination or whistleblowing issues.
The respondent's employer's contract claim was rejected as not well-founded. On the claimant's claims, the tribunal recorded that the claim for unauthorised deduction of wages for top-up of furlough was well founded by consent, and awarded £2,299.34 gross. The claim for breach of contract for non-payment of pension contributions was also well founded by consent, and the tribunal awarded £4,666.66 gross.
The claimant's breach of contract claims for wrongful dismissal, failure to pay notice pay, and failure to pay three months' pay under a Trust and Confidence Agreement were not well-founded and failed. The claim for unauthorised deduction of wages for holiday pay succeeded only in part, namely two days' outstanding holiday pay that the respondent conceded, and the tribunal awarded £333.34 gross. The total payable by the respondent was £7,299.34 gross, subject to deduction of income tax and national insurance.

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.
