Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe respondent failed to present a valid response on time, and the Employment Judge determined the claims under Rule 21 of the Employment Tribunals Rules of Procedure 2013. The respondent submitted a late response on 7 February 2024 and applied for an extension of time, citing the sick leave of an employee, Mr Marquis Craven, between late October 2023 and early February 2024. No medical evidence was provided. The Tribunal noted that other officers of the respondent had remained active during that period, including effecting a company name change on 7 December 2023 and a registered office change on 2 January 2024, and refused the extension of time application.
On Mr Parry's claim, the Tribunal declared that he had suffered an unauthorised deduction from wages and awarded £1,809.75 gross, calculated by reference to his hourly rate of £19.50 and overtime rate of £10, across the weeks commencing 17 July, 24 July and 31 July 2023, less £970 already paid.
On Mr Robson's claim, the Tribunal declared an unauthorised deduction from wages and awarded £1,019.50 gross, comprising £376 for deductions relating to an engine oil pump, seals and truck MOT/voluntary tests, and £643.50 for 3.9 days' accrued holiday. The Tribunal additionally awarded £650 net as damages for breach of contract for non-payment of one week's notice pay, bringing Mr Robson's total award to £1,669.50.

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.
