Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claim was issued on 31 October 2019. The respondent failed to present a valid response on time, and the Employment Judge determined the claim under rule 21 of the Employment Tribunals Rules of Procedure 2013. On that basis, the tribunal made default findings on the papers rather than after a contested hearing.
The tribunal found that the respondent had made unauthorised deductions from the claimant's wages and ordered payment of £961 gross. It also found that the claimant had been dismissed in breach of contract in respect of notice, awarding £402.50 damages, and that the respondent had failed to pay the claimant's holiday entitlement, awarding a further £166.
The total sum ordered was £1,529.50. The judgment also stated that section 24(2) Employment Right Act 1992 gives the tribunal power to order compensation for financial loss caused by unauthorised deductions, and said that if the claimant sought such compensation in addition to the sums already awarded, she would need to write to the tribunal within 14 days setting out the amount sought, how it was calculated, and any supporting evidence.

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.
