Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe Respondent failed to present a response to the claims, and Employment Judge Davies determined the matter under Rule 21 of the Employment Tribunal Rules of Procedure on the information available. The separate claim 1800880/2024 was dismissed on withdrawal by the Claimant.
In claim 1808583/2023 the Tribunal declared the Claimant entitled to a redundancy payment of £3,412.20, calculated on the basis of age 25 at the effective date of termination and 9 complete years' service (6 x £568.70). The Claimant's complaints of unauthorised deduction from wages for the period 25 September 2023 to 17 October 2023 and for deducting pension contributions not paid into his pension, his claim for pay in lieu of accrued but untaken holiday, and his claim for breach of contract in respect of notice pay were each found well-founded and to succeed.
The Respondent was ordered to pay the Claimant gross sums of £1,400 in wages, £388.55 for unauthorised deduction of employee pension contributions, £2,287.50 in holiday pay, and £5,118.75 in notice pay based on 9 complete years' service. The judgment notes that the Claimant is responsible for 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.
