Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claim was determined under Rule 21 without a hearing listed on 29 November 2019. Employment Judge Franey entered judgment on 12 November 2019, and the judgment was sent to the parties on 28 November 2019. The tribunal found three monetary claims in the claimant's favour against Direct People Recruitment Limited.
First, the tribunal held that the respondent had made an unauthorised deduction from wages and ordered payment of £740.39 gross. Second, it held that the claimant had been dismissed in breach of contract in respect of notice and awarded £538.36 damages. The judgment records that this sum is net, but it is based on the claimant's gross pay because it was likely to be subject to tax as Post Employment Notice Pay.
Third, the tribunal found that the respondent had failed to pay the claimant's holiday entitlement and ordered payment of £646.14 gross. The combined amount of the three awards is £1,924.89. The attached notice explains that statutory interest may accrue if the sums remain unpaid after the relevant decision day, but the judgment itself does not quantify any interest 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.
