Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningAt the remote CVP hearing on 5 October 2020, Employment Judge Corrigan, sitting alone, determined claims brought by Ms Sheila Dyer against Permundum Limited. The tribunal found that the claimant's unlawful deduction of wages claim was well-founded and ordered the respondent to pay £2,355.72, subject to any appropriate deductions for tax and National Insurance.
The tribunal also found that the claimant had been constructively unfairly dismissed. It awarded £2,763.70 in compensation, made up of a basic award of £396.90 and a compensatory award of £2,366.80. The compensatory award included £2,116.80 for loss of earnings, calculated as 32 weeks at £66.15, and £250 for loss of statutory rights.
The judgment further records that the claimant was wrongfully dismissed without her entitlement to 4 weeks' notice, but no separate award was made because that claim overlapped with the unfair dismissal award. Recoupment did not apply. The total payable by the respondent was £5,119.42, subject to the appropriate deductions for tax and National Insurance in respect of the wages award.

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.
