Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThis was a Rule 21 default judgment issued by Employment Judge Corrigan after the respondent failed to present a valid response on time. The claim was issued on 14 January 2024 and, following further information provided by the claimant's representative on 2 May 2024, the judge determined that the claim could properly be decided under Rule 21 of the Employment Tribunals Rules of Procedure 2013.
The tribunal found that the respondent had made unauthorised deductions from the claimant's wages and ordered payment of £430.50 gross, comprising £94.50 unpaid wages and £336 notice pay. It also found that the respondent had failed to pay the claimant's holiday entitlement, ordering £635.79 gross calculated as 74/365 x 28 days x £112 day rate. The award was increased by 2 weeks' pay of £1,120 because the respondent had failed to provide the claimant with written employment particulars.
The total sum the respondent was ordered to pay was £2,186.29, subject to appropriate deductions for tax and National Insurance. The hearing listed for 19 July 2024 was cancelled.

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.
