Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningAt Manchester on 30 May 2024, Employment Judge Phil Allen sat alone. The claimants did not attend and were not represented. The respondent was represented by Mr S Bradley, HR & Compliance Group Manager. The judgment was given orally, and the written record notes that written reasons would not be provided unless requested within 14 days.
The tribunal dismissed the claims for unauthorised deductions from wages as not well-founded. It found instead that the respondent breached each claimant's contract of employment in respect of notice. The award was damages for notice only, not a separate statutory compensation award.
Each claimant was awarded gross damages of £109, described as equivalent to the wages due for ten hours or one week. On the face of the judgment this produces an aggregate award of £327 across the three claimants. The accompanying notice under the Employment Tribunals (Interest) Order 1990 states that, if the award remains unpaid after 14 days, interest would run from 14 June 2024 at 8% per annum, but no separate interest amount was quantified in the judgment text.

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.
