Respondent
Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe respondent did not present a valid response on time. The Employment Judge therefore determined the claim under Rule 21 of the Employment Tribunals Rules of Procedure 2013 without a response from the respondent.
The tribunal found that the respondent had made two unauthorised deductions from the claimant's wages. It ordered payment of £646.50 for December 2021 and £500.00 for the yearly bonus for 2021.
The tribunal also found that the claimant was dismissed in breach of contract in respect of notice and awarded £1,193.52, calculated as 8 weeks' statutory notice at £149.19 per week. It further found that the claimant was dismissed by reason of redundancy and awarded a redundancy payment of £1,790.29, calculated at 1.5 weeks for every complete year of service when the claimant was aged over 40. The total monetary award was £4,130.31.

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.
