Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThis was a Rule 21 determination of two joined claims (2400179/2024 and 2400351/2024) by Mrs J Grybauskiene and Miss K Podleckaja against Highlink Ventures Limited. The respondent failed to present a valid response on time, and Employment Judge KM Ross decided that a determination of the claims could properly be made on the papers under Rule 21 of the Employment Tribunal Rules of Procedure 2013.
In respect of Mrs Grybauskiene, the tribunal found that the respondent had made an unauthorised deduction from her wages and ordered payment of the net sum of £635.94 (being £1,635.94 less £1,000 already received). The tribunal also found that the respondent had failed to pay her holiday entitlement and ordered payment of £120.00. In respect of Miss Podleckaja, the tribunal found that the respondent had made an unauthorised deduction from her wages and ordered payment of the net sum of £420.15 (being £1,120.15 less £800 already received).
The hearing listed for 18 June 2024 was cancelled. The judgment was sent to the parties on 2 May 2024, with interest accruing under the Employment Tribunals (Interest) Order 1990 from 3 May 2024 at the stipulated rate of 8% if unpaid within 14 days.

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.
