With the parties' consent, it ordered compensation of £794.88.
The tribunal also found that the respondent had breached the claimant's contract of employment by failing to make pension contributions. It ordered £180, stated to represent pension contributions at a rate of 2% of gross salary throughout the claimant's employment.

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.
