Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThis was a Rule 21 judgment in which the tribunal found that the respondent had made an unauthorised deduction from the claimant's wages and ordered repayment of £830.79. It also found that the claimant had been dismissed in breach of contract in respect of notice and awarded £1,846.20 as damages, described by the tribunal as a net figure calculated using gross pay because of the likelihood that the claimant would have to pay tax on it as Post Employment Notice Pay.
The tribunal further found that the respondent had failed to pay the claimant's holiday entitlement and ordered payment of £895.41. It also found a failure to provide the claimant with a written statement of the main terms of employment and ordered four weeks' pay, being £1,846.20.
No award was made in relation to the alleged failure to enrol the claimant into a pension scheme or to make employer's contributions. The tribunal said it had no jurisdiction over those matters and that they should be taken up with the Pensions Regulator. The stated monetary awards therefore total £5,418.60 before any interest that may arise under the separate interest notice.

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.
