Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe hearing took place remotely on 1 May 2024 before Employment Judge Tueje. The Claimant attended in person. The Respondent did not attend, and the Tribunal recorded that it was satisfied the claim form and notice of hearing had been properly served. It also noted that the Respondent had not returned a response form and there was no record of any response on the case file, so it proceeded in the Respondent’s absence.
On the merits, the Tribunal upheld the complaint of unauthorised deductions from pay. It found that the Respondent had made an unauthorised deduction from the Claimant’s pay for the period 11 September 2023 to 5 October 2023 and ordered repayment of the net sum deducted, £1,704.52.
The Tribunal also upheld the complaint in respect of holiday pay. It found that the Respondent was in breach of contract in failing to pay the Claimant for holidays accrued but untaken when employment ended, and awarded £179.52 as damages for breach of contract, representing the net value due to the Claimant. No other remedies were recorded in the judgment, and the total monetary award was £1,884.04.

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.
