Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal found that the Respondent made unauthorised deductions from the Claimant's pay between 23 February 2022 and 27 March 2022 and ordered repayment of £700 gross. It also found the holiday pay claim well-founded and ordered £84.49 gross.
The tribunal further found that the Respondent failed to provide a written statement of the main terms of employment. Under section 38 of the Employment Act 2002, the award was increased by £700, described in the judgment as four weeks' gross pay.
In addition, the tribunal found direct race discrimination in the Respondent's failure to pay the Claimant any wages, and harassment relating to race. It awarded £2,124.70 compensation for unlawful discrimination and harassment, inclusive of £124.70 interest, and recorded that the recoupment provisions did not apply.

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.
