Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe judgment was made under Rule 21 because the Respondent had failed to present a response and the Tribunal considered that the claims could properly be determined on the information available. Claim 1800884/2024 was dismissed on withdrawal by the Claimant; the substantive awards recorded in the judgment were made in claim 1808582/2023.
In claim 1808582/2023, the Tribunal declared that Mrs S Pelham was entitled to a redundancy payment of £9,349.83. The calculation recorded was based on age 47 at the effective date of termination, 14 years' service, and 17 weeks at £549.99.
The Tribunal found well-founded complaints of unauthorised deduction from wages for September 2023 to October 2023 and for deducted employee pension contributions that were not paid into the Claimant's pension. It ordered gross sums of £1,237.50 for wages and £111.80 for the pension contribution deduction.
The Tribunal also found well-founded the claim for pay in lieu of 22 days' accrued but untaken holiday and the breach of contract claim for notice pay. It ordered gross sums of £3,024.94 for holiday pay and £6,599.88 for notice pay, and recorded that the Claimant is responsible for paying any tax payable.

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.
