Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningEmployment Judge P Morgan heard the conjoined proceedings at Leeds by CVP on 23 May 2024. The Respondent did not attend, and the First and Second Claimants appeared in person.
The tribunal upheld three complaints of unauthorised deductions from wages under Part II of the Employment Rights Act 1996. It ordered the Respondent to pay the First Claimant £838.81 gross for wages due on 14 August 2023, and a further £450 gross on the First Claimant's van deduction complaint relating to wages due on 31 July 2023. It also ordered £474.11 gross to the Second Claimant for wages due on 14 August 2023.
The tribunal also upheld both complaints that accrued but untaken annual leave had not been paid when employment ended. It awarded £1,010.74 gross to the First Claimant and £1,239.98 gross to the Second Claimant. The judgment further records that the Respondent failed to provide either claimant with any pay statements for their final month of employment, but it does not record a separate monetary award for that point. The totals ordered were £2,299.55 for the First Claimant and £1,714.09 for the Second Claimant, making a combined total of £4,013.64.

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.
