Respondent
Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claim was issued on 14 January 2022 and the respondent failed to present a valid response on time. The Employment Judge therefore determined the claim under rule 21 of the Employment Tribunals Rules of Procedure 2013. The judgment records that the claimant was entitled to judgment on the issues dealt with in the decision, and that the hearing listed for 29 September 2022 was cancelled.
The tribunal found that the respondent had made unauthorised deductions from wages. It identified deductions of half a month of November 2021 (£1,458.34), a full month of December 2021 (£2,916.67), and one week in January 2022 (£673.08), and ordered payment of £5,048.09 gross in respect of that claim.
The redundancy pay claim failed. The tribunal found that the claimant had worked for the respondent for 1 year and 10 months and therefore had not reached the 2 years' continuous service required for statutory redundancy pay.
The tribunal also found that the respondent had failed to pay the claimant's holiday entitlement and ordered payment of £1,750.00 gross. The total sum ordered by the judgment was £6,798.09, and the claimant was stated to be responsible for any tax and national insurance due to HMRC.

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.
