Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal found that Excel Excavations Civils Limited had made an unauthorised deduction from Mr J Knox's wages for the period 1 October 2018 to 21 December 2018. It ordered payment of £2,070 in respect of that deduction.
The tribunal also found that the respondent had failed to respond to the claimant’s request for payment and to the trade union representative by holding a grievance. On that basis it uplifted the compensation by 25% under section 207A(2) and Schedule A2 of the Trade Union and Labour Relations (Constitution) Act 1992, adding £517.50.
Separately, the tribunal found that Mr Knox was owed 6.5 accrued but untaken holidays on termination of employment. It ordered payment of £1,345.50 for that holiday entitlement. The judgment stated that the total sum payable was £3,933, to be paid within 14 days of the judgment date.

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.
