Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningEmployment Judge Leach determined the matter under Rule 21 and made three awards in favour of Miss G Thompson against Cheeky Nursery Limited. The tribunal found unauthorised deductions from wages in August 2022 and September 2022, quantified at £1,208.33 and £225.85 respectively, and ordered the respondent to pay the gross sum of £1,434.18.
The tribunal also found that the claimant had been dismissed in breach of contract because the respondent failed to provide one week's notice. Damages were assessed at £545.14 gross, with the judgment recording that the figure was calculated on a gross basis because the claimant was likely to have tax liability on it as Post Employment Notice Pay.
Finally, the tribunal found that the respondent had not paid for 27.75 days of accrued untaken holiday and ordered payment of £2,785.51 gross. The written record also included the standard notice on interest under the Employment Tribunals (Interest) Order 1990, stating that interest would run from 2 June 2023 at 8% per annum if any award remained unpaid after 14 days, subject to the statutory exceptions.

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.
