Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningEmployment Judge Klimov, sitting alone at London Central on 10 May 2022, upheld a claim for unlawful deductions from wages. The tribunal found that PGD Food Services Limited had not paid Ms S. Lykourgou her salary for April to July 2021, totalling £14,026 gross, and had also not paid accrued but untaken holiday pay of £3,808.83 gross. It ordered payment of £17,834.83 gross in respect of the unlawful deductions and directed the respondent to account to HMRC for any tax and NI due.
The tribunal also upheld three breach of contract claims. It awarded £5,000 gross for failure to pay notice-period pay, £1,485 net for failure to make pension contributions on the claimant's behalf, and £1,800 net for deducting employee pension contributions from salary but failing to remit them to the pension scheme provider. The written decision records that reasons were given orally at the hearing and that written reasons would not be provided unless requested.

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.
