Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe respondent failed to present a valid response in time, and Employment Judge KM Ross determined the claim under Rule 21 of the Employment Tribunals Rules of Procedure 2013. The tribunal found that the respondent had made an unauthorised deduction from the claimant's wages between 1 and 21 July 2023, ordering payment of £2,884.46 representing three weeks' gross pay at £961.50 per week.
The tribunal also found that the claimant was dismissed in breach of contract in respect of notice, and ordered the respondent to pay £961.50 as damages for one week's statutory notice, calculated on a gross basis to reflect the likelihood that the sum would be treated as Post Employment Notice Pay for tax purposes. The total gross sum ordered was £3,845.96, with the claimant responsible for any tax liabilities arising from the gross award.
The judgment also recorded the standard Employment Tribunals (Interest) Order 1990 provisions, identifying 19 June 2024 as the relevant decision day, 20 June 2024 as the calculation day, and 8% as the stipulated rate of interest payable on any unpaid sums after 14 days.

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.
