Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningAt the Manchester hearing on 7 November 2022, before Employment Judge Slater, the claimant did not attend and the respondent did not attend and had not presented a response. The tribunal therefore determined the case on the basis of the claim form.
It found that the respondent had made an unauthorised deduction from wages by failing to pay wages for the period 11 January to 23 January 2021. The tribunal ordered payment of the gross sum of £630, subject to deductions for tax and national insurance if applicable, and stated that the award was to be paid within 14 days.
The claimant's remaining complaints were dismissed. The tribunal said he had less than two years' service and had not satisfied it that he was dismissed for a reason that would allow an unfair dismissal claim without the qualifying service. It also said he had not provided details enabling it to find unlawful sex discrimination.
The claim for £50 in respect of petrol was also dismissed. The tribunal said there were no details to support a finding of breach of contract or any other claim within the tribunal's jurisdiction.

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.
