Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal found that the respondent had made unauthorised deductions from Mr Green’s final salary payment for August 2023, contrary to Part II of the Employment Rights Act 1996. The deductions identified were £278.10 gross for losses claimed to have been caused to the respondent, £432.10 gross for 1-6 August 2023, and £365.88 gross for 28-31 August 2023.
The tribunal also found that £493.27 gross was owing in respect of untaken holiday on termination. It recorded that Mr Green had accrued 0.9 weeks’ holiday, had taken 0.25 weeks, and therefore had 0.75 of 0.9 weeks untaken by the date his employment ended on 31 August 2023. The respondent was ordered to pay a total of £1,569.35 gross.
The unfair dismissal complaint was dismissed. The tribunal relied on section 108 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 and found that Mr Green had been employed for less than two years, so he did not satisfy the qualifying service requirement for an unfair dismissal complaint.

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.
