Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe respondent failed to present a valid response on time, and Employment Judge Slater determined the matters capable of decision under rule 21 of the Employment Tribunals Rules of Procedure 2013. The judgment records three money claims that were decided at that stage, while the claimant's claim to a statutory redundancy payment and complaint of unfair dismissal were left to be decided at a final hearing.
The tribunal found that the respondent was in breach of contract by deducting pension contributions from the claimant's pay but not applying them to her pension. It ordered damages of £401.19, made up of deductions of £53.66 for September 2021, £55.57 for August 2021, £65.21 for July 2021, £44.48 for June 2021, £40.65 for February 2021, £50.23 for January 2021, £41.71 for December 2020 and £49.68 for November 2020.
It also found an unauthorised deduction from wages arising from unpaid holiday entitlement and awarded £1,722.00, calculated as £82.00 per day for 21 days. The claimant's dismissal was found to be in breach of contract in respect of notice, and the tribunal awarded £2,676.00 after deducting £2,220.00 earned during the notice period from £4,896.00 gross notice pay. The total awarded in this judgment was £4,799.19.

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.
