Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal considered the claims together under rule 30 of the Employment Tribunals Rules of Procedure 2024. It found both claimants' complaints of unauthorised deductions from wages to be well-founded, on the basis that the respondent did not pay wages due under their contracts during the period 25 March 2024 to 1 September 2024.
The tribunal also found that, when the proceedings were begun, the respondent had not given either claimant a written statement of initial employment particulars. It concluded there were no exceptional circumstances making an increase unjust or inequitable, and awarded each claimant four weeks' gross pay in addition to the unpaid wages.

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.
