Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningMiss T Rennie was employed by The Retrofit-Team Limited from 28 June 2021 until she was dismissed without notice on 3 March 2023. She brought complaints of unlawful deduction from wages, breach of contract/notice pay, and unpaid annual leave entitlement. The respondent did not attend the hearing, did not provide a bundle, and the tribunal relied on the claimant's oral evidence, documents, and schedule of loss. The tribunal said her evidence was credible and reliable and determined the claims on the balance of probabilities.
The tribunal found that she had lost 5 days' wages between 27 February and 3 March 2023, calculated at £115.38 gross per day, and awarded £576.90 gross. It also found that the employment contract entitled her to one month's notice pay because she had more than one month but less than two years' service, which produced an award of £2,500 gross.
On holiday entitlement, the tribunal found that she had accrued 7 days' annual leave for the 2023 leave year, had already taken 2 days, and was therefore entitled to payment for 5 days' unpaid annual leave at £115.38 gross per day, totalling £576.90 gross. The tribunal dismissed the respondent's own breach of contract claim/defence because no evidence was provided to support it. The successful complaints totalled £3,653.80 gross.

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.
