Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal found that GC Property 1 Limited had made an unauthorised deduction from Miss W Morgan's wages for the period 1 April to 31 July 2020. It ordered the respondent to pay £572.89 gross in respect of that deduction.
It also found a breach of contract arising from the treatment of employee pension contributions. The judgment records that deductions were made from the claimant's wages for the purpose of paying pension contributions into a workplace pension, but those contributions were not paid into a workplace pension on her behalf. The tribunal awarded £220 gross damages for that breach.
The unfair dismissal claim did not succeed because the claimant had not been continuously employed for two years ending with the effective date of termination, so she did not have the right to bring that claim. The judgment does not record any separate award for unfair dismissal.
The judgment notes that the hearing took place remotely by video and that the respondent did not appear, was not represented, and had its participation restricted under rule 21 of the Employment Tribunal Rules of Procedure 2013. It also notes that any tax and national insurance liability on the gross sums awarded is a matter for HMRC.

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.
