Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningFollowing a rule 21 determination after the respondent failed to present a valid response on time, the tribunal found that WK Hotels Ltd had made unauthorised deductions from Miss N Green's wages and had failed to pay her holiday entitlement. It ordered payment of £1,443.58 for the wage deductions and £456.29 for holiday pay.
The claimant sought an equal amount of compensation for the sums owed, but the tribunal said it had no power to award compensation for inconvenience in this type of claim. It held that it could increase the awards by up to 25% for an unreasonable failure to comply with the ACAS Code of Practice on Discipline and Grievance Procedures, and because the respondent did not respond to the claimant's grievance it made the maximum uplift of £474.96. The judgment also recorded that the hearing would be cancelled unless the claimant wrote to the tribunal by 2 February 2024 to make representations about any other award for compensation.

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.
