Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningEmployment Judge Mellor, sitting alone at Manchester (via CVP) on 7 and 8 May 2024, found that the respondent had made an unauthorised deduction from the claimant's wages by failing to pay his final wage due on 30 January 2023 along with half a day of accrued but untaken holiday pay. The respondent was ordered to pay £2,626.96 net in respect of the unpaid wage and £204.54 net in respect of the holiday pay, totalling £2,831.50.
The tribunal further found that the respondent was in breach of its duty under section 1(1) of the Employment Rights Act 1996 (the obligation to provide a written statement of employment particulars). Applying section 38(3) of the Employment Act 2002, the tribunal awarded the minimum increase of two weeks' wages, amounting to £1,212.44.
The total sum payable to the claimant was £4,043.94, payable within 28 days. Reasons were given orally at the hearing and written reasons were not provided in the document. The judgment was sent to the parties on 2 July 2024.
Claims and outcomes
3 findings recorded| Claim type | Issue or finding | Outcome | Protected characteristic | Award |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Unlawful deduction from wages | Unauthorised deduction from wages: failure to pay final wage due 30 January 2023 (£2,626.96 net) together with half a day of accrued but untaken holiday pay (£204.54 net), totalling £2,831.50. | Upheld | — | £2,832 |
| Holiday pay | Half a day's accrued but untaken holiday pay (£204.54 net). Awarded together with the unpaid final wage as part of the £2,831.50 total under the unauthorised deduction finding; listed as a separate claim here because Layer 1 categorised holiday pay distinctly, though the tribunal addressed it within the same deduction order. | Upheld | — | £205 |
| Other | Breach of the employer's duty under section 1(1) of the Employment Rights Act 1996 (failure to provide a statement of employment particulars). Tribunal ordered two weeks' wages (£1,212.44) as the minimum increase under section 38(3) of the Employment Act 2002. This claim type is not separately enumerated in the §4.4 taxonomy, so classified as 'other'. | Upheld | — | £1,212 |

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.
