Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningMiss E Johnson brought claims against Aspins Bakery Limited that were heard by video in Newcastle on 8 December 2022 before Employment Judge Aspden. The respondent did not attend. The tribunal recorded that the claimant was in person and that written reasons would not be provided because reasons had been given orally at the hearing.
The tribunal upheld the claimant's complaint that the respondent had made deductions from her wages in contravention of section 13 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 by failing to pay the amounts due for February and March 2022. It ordered the respondent to pay £712.80 for that deduction, subject to any deductions the respondent was required by law to make for tax and/or national insurance.
The tribunal also upheld the claimant's complaint that holiday pay due under regulation 14 of the Working Time Regulations 1998 had not been paid. It ordered payment of £399 in respect of holiday pay, again subject to any lawful deductions.
The claimant's separate complaint that the respondent had failed to pay her week in hand pay for her first week of employment was dismissed as not well founded. The bottom-line award recorded by the tribunal was £1,111.80 before any required tax or national insurance deductions.

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.
