Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claimant brought a reference under section 11(1) Employment Rights Act 1996 complaining that the respondent, his employer, had failed to provide him with written itemised pay statements contrary to section 8 ERA 1996. The respondent did not file a response within the time required, and the Employment Judge proceeded under Rule 21 of the Employment Tribunal Rules of Procedure 2013. The Tribunal sought further particulars from the claimant, who replied on 1 February 2024 providing further information.
The Judge was satisfied that the respondent was the claimant's employer and that the respondent had failed to provide itemised pay statements during the period 25 April 2023 to 11 September 2023. The reference under section 11(1) ERA 1996 was held to be well founded, and the Tribunal made a declaration under section 12(3) ERA 1996 specifying the particulars that ought to have appeared in each weekly pay statement: gross pay of £395.96, PAYE deductions of £30.80, National Insurance deductions of £18.47, and net pay of £346.69.
Although section 12(4) ERA 1996 permits the Tribunal to make a monetary award up to the aggregate of unnotified deductions in the 13 weeks preceding the reference, the Judge declined to make such an award on the basis that the claim form and further information did not indicate the claimant was seeking one. The claimant had stated in his claim form that he was 'just looking for payslips'.

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.
