Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningMs R Garton brought claims against Scott Michael Steele for unauthorised deduction from wages and failure to pay accrued holiday pay. The case was heard at Newcastle Hearing Centre on 23 September 2020 before Employment Judge Johnson and was determined under Rule 21.
The tribunal found both complaints well-founded. It held that £3,930.90 had been unlawfully deducted from wages and ordered that sum to be paid to the claimant as a net amount, with the respondent responsible for any income tax and national insurance contributions due on it.
The tribunal also found that accrued holiday pay had not been paid. It ordered the respondent to pay £290.06 net in respect of accrued holiday pay, again with the respondent responsible for any income tax and national insurance contributions due on that amount.
The judgment does not record any separate award for interest or any other head of loss. The total monetary liability recorded in the decision is £4,220.96, made up of the two sums awarded for wages and holiday pay.

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.
