Respondent
Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe respondent failed to present a valid response on time. The Employment Judge determined under Rule 21 of the Employment Tribunals Rules of Procedure 2013 that a determination could properly be made on the claim without a hearing, and the listed hearing on 1 October 2024 was cancelled.
On the merits, the tribunal found that the respondent had made unauthorised deductions from the claimant's wages and ordered payment of the gross sum of £2,053.93. The tribunal also found that the claimant had been dismissed by reason of redundancy and was entitled to a statutory redundancy payment of £1,061.52, calculated on the basis of one week's pay for each complete year of service while the claimant was aged between 22 and 41 (1 x 2 x £530.76).
The respondent was ordered to pay the claimant a total gross sum of £3,115.45. A standard Interest Order 1990 notice was attached setting the relevant decision day as 2 August 2024 and the stipulated rate of interest at 8% per annum if the award is not paid 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.
