Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal proceeded under rule 21 of the Employment Tribunals Rules of Procedure 2013 because the respondent failed to present a valid response on time. The judgment was therefore determined on the material before Employment Judge Phil Allen without a defended response from the respondent.
The tribunal found that the respondent had breached contract by deducting pension contributions from the claimant's pay but not applying them to her pension, and ordered damages of £981.20. It also found that the claimant had been dismissed in breach of contract in respect of notice and awarded £4,442.35, described in the judgment as statutory notice of 11 weeks at £403.85 per week.
The tribunal further found that the claimant was dismissed by reason of redundancy and awarded a redundancy payment of £4,442.35. The judgment's parenthetical calculation states '11 x 1 x £403.85 = £4,038.50', which does not match the amount ordered. The written notice also stated that interest would be governed by the Employment Tribunals (Interest) Order 1990, with a relevant decision day of 23 December 2022 and a calculation day of 24 December 2022 if any sum remained unpaid.

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.
