Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claims were presented in the Manchester Employment Tribunal on 20 and 28 January 2025. The respondent failed to present a valid response on time, and the Employment Judge determined under rule 22 of the Rules of Procedure that a determination of the claims could properly be made.
The tribunal found that the respondent had made unauthorised deductions from the wages of both claimants for the months of November 2024 and December 2024. A Batolla was awarded £3,000 gross in total, and P J Pongol was awarded £426 gross in total. The claimants were noted to be responsible for any tax liabilities arising on the gross awards if tax is not deducted at source.
A notice under Article 12 of the Employment Tribunals (Interest) Order 1990 was issued, recording the relevant decision day as 8 January 2026, the calculation day as 9 January 2026, and the stipulated rate of interest as 8% per annum.

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.
