Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningEmployment Judge Phil Allen, sitting alone at Manchester on 9 December 2022, held that the tribunal had jurisdiction to consider Mr R Varga's claim for unauthorised deduction from wages because it was presented within the time required by section 23 of the Employment Rights Act 1996. The respondent, Store Retail Group Limited (in voluntary liquidation), did not attend and was not represented.
The tribunal found that the respondent had made unauthorised deductions from the claimant's wages in respect of holiday pay. It accepted that the sums due covered three and a half days, or twenty-eight hours, of holiday pay.
The tribunal ordered the respondent to pay Mr Varga the gross sum of £268. The figure was calculated by reference to twenty-four hours at £9.50 per hour and four hours at £10 per hour. The written record also included the standard notice about interest under the Employment Tribunals (Interest) Order 1990, but no separate interest sum was assessed in the judgment.

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.
