Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThis was a Rule 21 judgment made by Employment Judge E Burns without a hearing, after the Respondent failed to file an ET3. Considering the ET1 and documents provided by the Claimant, the Tribunal determined that the claim could properly be decided on the papers.
The Tribunal found that the Respondent had unlawfully failed to pay the Claimant wages for January and February 2024 and had also failed to pay her one month's notice. The Claimant's gross monthly earnings were £4,583. The Tribunal further found that the Claimant had incurred costs of £1,673 as a result of non-payment, which it had power to award as compensation.
The Respondent was ordered to pay the Claimant £15,422, subject to any deductions required for income tax or national insurance contributions to be paid to HMRC. The hearing listed for 28 June 2024 was vacated.

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.
