Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningJudgment was entered under Rule 22(1)(c) of the Employment Tribunal Procedure Rules 2024 because the respondent did not present a response within time and confirmed at the hearing that no part of the claim was contested. The tribunal therefore determined the claims on the basis of the uncontested material before it.\n\nThe tribunal upheld the claimant's complaint of unauthorised deductions from wages in respect of December 2024 and awarded £4,166.66, being the gross sum deducted. It also upheld the breach of contract claim for notice pay and awarded £4,166.66 as damages, described as four weeks' notice pay and calculated using gross pay to reflect the likelihood of tax being payable as post-employment notice pay.\n\nThe holiday pay complaint was also found well-founded. The tribunal held that the respondent had made an unauthorised deduction from wages by failing to pay the claimant for five days' holiday accrued but not taken when employment ended on 22 December 2024, and awarded £961.53.\n\nUnder section 163 Employment Rights Act 1996, the tribunal determined that the claimant was entitled to a statutory redundancy payment of £3,500, being five weeks' pay capped at £700 per week. The judgment recorded a total monetary payment of £12,794.85.

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.
