Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningJudgment was entered under Rule 60 on the basis of admissions in the response. The tribunal found that the respondent had made unauthorised deductions by not paying wages at 80% of normal pay for the period 1 September 2020 to 9 November 2020, by failing to pay accrued but untaken holiday entitlement, and by making pension contribution deductions which were not paid to the pension scheme.
The tribunal also found that the respondent was in breach of contract by not paying the claimant at 100% of normal pay during his two-week notice period. It recorded that the claimant was dismissed by reason of redundancy and was entitled to a redundancy payment.
The complaint about underpayment for holiday taken during furlough was not determined in this judgment; the judgment stated it would be addressed by a further paper judgment or at a final hearing if any outstanding issue remained.

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.
