Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claim was issued at the Newcastle Employment Tribunal on 22 February 2024. The respondent did not present a valid response in time, and the Employment Judge determined the claim under Rule 21 of the Employment Tribunals Rules of Procedure 2013.
The tribunal found each of the claimant's complaints well-founded. The unauthorised deduction from wages complaint succeeded in respect of 13.3 hours' non-payment, yielding £120 gross. The breach of contract complaint relating to notice pay succeeded, with £522 awarded on a gross basis as Post Employment Notice Pay. The holiday pay complaint succeeded on the basis that the respondent had failed to pay for holidays accrued but not taken on the date employment ended, yielding £1,118.70. Under section 163 of the Employment Rights Act 1996, the claimant was determined to be entitled to a redundancy payment of £261.
The respondent was ordered to pay the claimant £2,021.70 in total, and the hearing previously listed for 26 April 2024 was cancelled.

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.
