Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal, sitting alone before Employment Judge Peck, found three separate unlawful deductions from Mrs J Eaton’s wages. It ordered Laser Schoolwear Limited to pay £2,821.05 for unpaid wages for February 2019 to November 2019, £62.64 for 8 hours worked on 15 August 2018, and £431.06 for 7 days’ accrued but untaken annual leave on termination of employment.
The tribunal also awarded £492.60, described as additional compensation equivalent to 2 weeks’ pay, under section 38 of the Employment Act 2002 because the respondent had failed to provide a written statement of employment particulars. The claimant’s breach of contract claim for notice pay was dismissed.
In addition, the tribunal declared under section 12(3) of the Employment Rights Act 1996 that the respondent had failed to provide itemised pay statements for October 2019 and November 2019, following the obligation in section 8 of that Act. The monetary awards totalled £3,807.35. The accompanying interest notice stated that unpaid sums would carry interest under the Employment Tribunals (Interest) Order 1990 if they remained unpaid 42 days after 5 February 2021, at the stipulated rate of 8%.

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.
