Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningEmployment Judge Holmes issued a Rule 21 judgment after the respondent failed to present a valid response on time. On the papers, the tribunal determined that Boilertech (NW) Limited had made an unauthorised deduction from the claimant's wages and ordered payment of £1,630.00 gross for the period 1 April 2021 to 14 June 2021. The judgment records the sum as payable gross, with the claimant liable to account to HMRC for any tax and national insurance due on it.
The tribunal also found that the claimant had been unfairly dismissed. It awarded a basic award of £150.46 and a compensatory award of £978.00, on the basis that he was out of work for 1.5 months at a gross monthly salary of £652.00. The judgment states that recoupment regulations do not apply.
The written record was sent to the parties on 16 December 2022. A separate notice under the Employment Tribunals (Interest) Order 1990 stated that interest would be payable on unpaid awards after 14 days from the relevant decision day, which was 16 December 2022, at the stipulated rate of 8% per annum.

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.
