Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningAt a Rule 21 hearing on 18 November 2024, Employment Judge Greer heard the claimant in person and the respondent did not attend. The tribunal found the complaint of unauthorised deductions from wages and unpaid holiday pay to be well-founded, recording that the respondent made an unauthorised deduction from the claimant's wages in April 2024 and failed to pay him for holidays accrued but not taken.
The tribunal ordered the respondent to pay £11,482.30, described as the gross sum deducted, and noted that the claimant is responsible for any tax or National Insurance due on that sum. It also determined, under section 163 Employment Rights Act 1996, that the claimant was entitled to a redundancy payment of £3,150. The written notice also included the standard interest information, but no separate interest amount was quantified in the judgment text.

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.
