Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe case was determined on the papers in Chambers at Manchester on 23 May 2024 by Employment Judge K M Ross under Rule 21 of the Employment Tribunals Rules of Procedure 2013, with neither party in attendance. The Tribunal found the claimant's complaints of unlawful deduction from wages (ten days' gross pay), notice pay (one week) and accrued but untaken holiday pay (two days) to be well-founded, and ordered the respondent to pay £1,153.84, £576.92 and £230.77 respectively, producing a total sum of £1,961.53 payable within 14 days of the judgment.
The Tribunal also found the claimant's complaints under section 189 of the Trade Union and Labour Relations (Consolidation) Act 1992, of a failure by the respondent to comply with the requirements of section 188 of the 1992 Act, to be well-founded. By way of protective award under section 189(3), the respondent was ordered to pay the claimant, who was dismissed for redundancy between 14-30 September 2023, a payment equivalent to remuneration for the period of 30 days beginning on 30 September 2023. The Recoupment Regulations apply to the protective award.

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.
