Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningMr P King appeared in person at a remote hearing before Employment Judge Robertson; the respondent did not appear or provide representation. The tribunal found the claimant's unlawful deduction from wages claim well-founded. It held that the respondent had underpaid wages on 15 and 21 December 2021 and 5 January 2022, underpaid wages on 12 January 2022, failed to pay for the day worked on 2 January 2022, and failed to pay in lieu of accrued but untaken holiday entitlement on termination of employment.
The tribunal ordered the respondent to pay £1,325.28 gross for those deductions, before deductions for tax and national insurance as appropriate. It recorded that £225 had been paid to the claimant on or around 4 February 2022, and the award was reduced to reflect that payment. The tribunal also ordered additional compensation of £1,502.50, described as three weeks' pay, under section 38 of the Employment Act 2002 for failure to provide a written statement of employment particulars. The total amount due was £2,827.78.

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.
