Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningFollowing an oral judgment given at a final hearing at London South (by CVP) on 22 April 2024, Employment Judge Hart found that the respondent had made unauthorised deductions from the claimant's wages by failing to pay his full wages for August 2023 and by failing to pay the full service charge (bonus) for the seven months of his employment from 1 February to 1 September 2023.
The Tribunal further found that the respondent had failed to pay outstanding annual leave on termination of the contract, amounting to nine days, and had failed to provide the claimant with a written statement of employment particulars.
The respondent was ordered to pay the claimant £634.90 gross for the August 2023 wages, 898.33 gross for the unpaid service charge, £995.22 gross for the outstanding annual leave, and £884.64 gross (equivalent to two weeks' gross pay) as compensation for the failure to provide a written statement of employment particulars. Written reasons were not to be provided unless requested within 14 days.

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.
