Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningRegional Employment Judge Franey determined the claim under rule 22 of the Rules of Procedure following the respondent's failure to present a valid response. The complaints of unauthorised deductions from wages, breach of contract in relation to notice pay, breach of contract in relation to pension contributions, and holiday pay were each found well-founded.
The respondent was ordered to pay £5,850.00 for unpaid wages, £4,725.00 as damages for failure to give contractual notice, £3,500.00 as damages for failure to pay pension contributions to the scheme, and £2,430.00 for accrued but untaken holiday at the end of employment.
The judgment recorded a total award of £16,505.00, with the claimant responsible for any tax or National Insurance not deducted by the respondent. A statutory notice on interest under the Employment Tribunals (Interest) Order 1990 was attached.

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.
