Respondent
Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe respondent did not file an ET3 Grounds of Resistance. The Tribunal therefore determined the claim without a hearing under Rule 21 of the Employment Tribunals Rules of Procedure 2013, on the basis of the ET1 and the material before it.
The tribunal found that the respondent had unlawfully failed to pay the claimant wages owed to her. That finding is the basis of the successful claim recorded here as unlawful deduction from wages.
The tribunal ordered the respondent to pay the claimant £6,119.65. The judgment itemised that sum as £1,425.60 for unpaid pension contributions, £694.05 for holiday pay, and £4,000 for unpaid tax, and directed the respondent to account to HMRC for any tax and national insurance due on the £4,000 amount.

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.
