Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe respondent did not present a valid response on time, so the Employment Judge determined the claim under rule 21 of the Employment Tribunals Rules of Procedure 2013. On that basis, the tribunal entered judgment without an attended hearing, and the listed hearing on 11 October 2022 was cancelled.
The tribunal upheld the claimant's unlawful deduction from wages claim. It found that the respondent had made an unauthorised deduction from wages and ordered payment of £1,097.00 gross, made up of £870.00 for March 2022 and £227.00 for November 2021.
The tribunal also upheld the claim for unpaid holiday entitlement. It found that the respondent had failed to pay the claimant's holiday entitlement and ordered payment of £1,149.00 in respect of 10 days' holiday. The total sum awarded by the judgment was £2,246.00 gross. The notice on interest stated the relevant decision day as 3 October 2022, the calculation day as 4 October 2022, and the stipulated interest rate as 8% per annum if the award remained unpaid beyond the 14-day period.

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.
