Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe Tribunal found that the claimant was employed as a Band 6 paramedic and took up a Senior Paramedic Team Leader role from 9 January 2023. After he had been in the role for three months, he sought confirmation that he would be paid at Band 7 from 9 April 2023, and his manager confirmed that he would be paid at that rate.
The Tribunal found that the claimant was moved onto a vacant Senior Paramedic Team Leader line and substantially fulfilled Band 7 duties, rather than only undertaking specific development activities alongside his Band 6 role. It found that Band 7 pay was properly payable from 9 April to 23 October 2023 and that the respondent had made an unlawful deduction from wages in the agreed gross sum of GBP 6,021.57.

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.
