Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal, sitting remotely by video, heard the claimant in person and the respondent did not appear. It found that the claimant had been underpaid for part of April 2020 and that there had been an unauthorised deduction from wages. The judgment records the pay figures used in the calculation: daily gross pay of £86.25, net pay of £69.75, a net payment of £977.19 made in April 2020, and a shortfall of £771.81 gross for 13 working days between 14 April and 30 April.
The tribunal also found that the respondent was in breach of contract because it dismissed the claimant without giving one calendar month’s notice. It awarded damages of £1,868.75 gross, again subject to deductions for tax and national insurance. In addition, it held that the claimant was entitled to a redundancy payment of £1,293.75, calculated as three weeks' gross salary at £431.25 per week.
No discrimination, unfair dismissal, or whistleblowing issues were determined in this judgment. The order is limited to the three monetary findings above, and the written record notes that reasons were given orally at the hearing.

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.
