Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe respondent failed to present a valid response on time, and the Employment Judge decided that a determination could properly be made under rule 21 of the Employment Tribunals Rules of Procedure 2013. On that basis, the tribunal proceeded without a defended hearing.
The tribunal found that the respondent had made an unauthorised deduction from the claimant's wages. It ordered the respondent to pay the claimant the gross sum of £690.00, stated to represent 60 hours at £11.50 per hour for hours worked from Sunday 20 February 2022 to Friday 25 February 2022.
A separate notice dealt with interest under the Employment Tribunals (Interest) Order 1990. It recorded that interest would not be payable if the sum was paid in full within 14 days after the written record of the decision was sent, that interest would begin the following day if unpaid, and that the stipulated rate was 8% per annum.

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.
