Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claim was presented in the Leeds Employment Tribunals on 9 November 2023 and sent to the respondent on 20 December 2023. The respondent did not present a valid response on time, so the Employment Judge made a determination under Rule 21 of the Employment Tribunals Rules of Procedure 2013.
The tribunal found that the respondent had made unlawful deductions from the claimant's wages. It ordered Technical Services and Supplies Ltd to pay Mr D Atherton £201.92 gross.
In recording the basis for the award, the tribunal stated that a director's loan top up was not a sum within the Employment Rights Act definition of wages.

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.
