Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningSitting alone, Employment Judge M Aspinall heard the claims at London South Employment Tribunal on 14 June 2024 by video. The correct name of the Respondent was confirmed as Prudent Domiciliary Care Limited. Unlawful deduction from wages claims relating to any period prior to February 2023 were found to be out of time, the Claimant having been unable to satisfy the tribunal that it was not reasonably practicable to present those claims in time.
The unlawful deduction from wages claims for February, March and April 2023 were well founded, and the tribunal declared that the Respondent had made unlawful deductions in the gross sum of £737.61. The claim for accrued but unpaid holiday pay on termination was also well founded, in the gross sum of £718.38. The Claimant was directed to report these sums (totalling £1,455.99 gross) to HMRC on receipt and to account for any tax, NI or statutory deductions properly due.
The tribunal further found that the Respondent had failed to pay contractual expenses properly due to the Claimant in the sum of £374.62. In total, the Respondent was ordered to pay £1,830.61 within 14 days. Reasons were given orally at the hearing and written reasons will not be provided unless requested in accordance with the rules.

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.
