Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe case was heard remotely by video on 14 January 2021 before Employment Judge P Klimov sitting alone. The respondent did not attend and was not represented. The tribunal determined the issues on the papers and oral evidence available at the hearing.
The claimant’s claim for unauthorised deduction from wages succeeded in respect of the period March to 4 July 2020. The tribunal found an unlawful deduction from wages in contravention of section 13 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 and ordered payment of £5,322.08 for the wages unlawfully deducted.
The tribunal also found that the respondent had unreasonably failed to comply with the ACAS Code of Practice on Disciplinary and Grievance Procedures, and applied a 25% increase to the sum awarded. That uplift was £1,330.52, producing a total payable of £6,652.60.
Separately, the tribunal held that the respondent was in breach of section 8 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 because it failed to provide the claimant with itemised pay statements from March 2019. The judgment does not record a separate monetary award for that breach.

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.
