Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningEmployment Judge McCarthy, sitting alone at Manchester Employment Tribunal on 5 May 2023, found that Evolve Digital UK Ltd had not paid the claimant’s salary for December 2022. The tribunal held that this was an unauthorised deduction from wages and ordered the respondent to pay the gross sum due, £2,012.50.
The tribunal also found that the respondent breached contract by dismissing the claimant without notice. It awarded damages of £928.84 for that breach. The judgment records that the damages were calculated using gross pay to reflect the likelihood that the claimant would have to pay tax on post-employment notice pay.
The total monetary award recorded in the judgment is £2,941.34. The respondent did not attend the hearing. The written record of the decision was sent to the parties on 22 January 2024, and the separate interest notice states that interest would accrue only if the award remained unpaid after the relevant decision day.

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.
