Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe respondent did not present a valid response on time, so the Employment Judge made a determination under rule 21 of the Employment Tribunals Rules of Procedure 2013 without a contested hearing. The hearing listed for 23 September 2022 was cancelled.
The tribunal upheld the claim for unlawful deduction from wages and ordered the respondent to pay £923.08 gross. The figure was calculated from a £20,000 annual salary, divided by 52 weeks and then by 5 days to give £76.92 per day, multiplied by 12 unpaid days covering November to December 2021.
The tribunal also found that the claimant was dismissed in breach of contract in respect of notice and awarded £384.62 for one week's statutory notice. In addition, it upheld the claim for unpaid holiday entitlement and ordered £538.46 for 7 unused holiday days, using the same daily rate. The judgment noted that the sums were calculated on gross pay and included a separate interest notice stating that interest would be payable under the Employment Tribunals (Interest) Order 1990 if the award was not paid within 14 days of the written record being sent.

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.
