Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe respondent did not present a response, and the tribunal entered judgment under rule 21 after considering whether the claim could properly be determined on the claimant's evidence and grounds of complaint. The claimant had worked for the respondent from 3 March 2022 to 17 March 2022.
The tribunal found that no wages were paid for that period, so the unlawful deduction from wages claim succeeded and outstanding gross wages of £1,201.92 were ordered, less lawful deductions of tax and national insurance. It also found that one day's accrued holiday had not been paid under the Working Time Regulations 1998 and ordered £120.19 gross, less lawful deductions.
The tribunal further found that the respondent had failed to provide a statement of initial employment particulars under section 1 of the Employment Rights Act 1996. It considered it just and equitable to award four weeks' pay and ordered £1,923.08, calculated at £480.77 per week. The sexual orientation discrimination claim was dismissed on withdrawal. The principal sums ordered totalled £3,245.19 before any interest; a notice stated that interest would run at 8% per annum from 15 December 2022 if the sums were not paid within 14 days.

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.
