Respondent
Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claimant brought complaints of unauthorised deduction from wages and unpaid holiday pay against the respondent. The ET1 was submitted on 16 May 2024 and served on the respondent at its registered office; the respondent filed no response by the 21 June 2024 deadline. Judgment was therefore entered without a hearing under Rule 21 of the Employment Tribunal Rules of Procedure 2013, on the basis of the information provided by the claimant, including a final payslip evidencing the unpaid wages of £1,903.23 and a claim for 3 days of accrued and outstanding holiday pay.
The Tribunal found the unauthorised deduction of wages complaint well-founded in respect of the period 1 April 2024 to 14 April 2024, and ordered the respondent to pay the gross sum of £1,903.23, with the claimant responsible for any tax and national insurance. The holiday pay complaint was also well-founded, the respondent having failed to pay the claimant in accordance with Regulations 14(2) and 16(1) of the Working Time Regulations 1998, and the respondent was ordered to pay £605.78. The total award was £2,509.01.

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.
