Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningMrs J Ladd brought a claim described as one for unauthorised deduction of wages, saying in the claim form that she was owed arrears of pay and other payments. She also referred to being forced to remain on sickness absence, to loss of earnings, and to stress caused by the respondent, but she was not able at the hearing to identify the precise legal basis of the claim or provide a calculation of compensation.
The respondent said that all sums due had been paid, including statutory sick pay, and denied that it had instructed or required her to remain off work. The respondent’s evidence from Mrs Harvinder Sehmbey, formerly Senior HR Business Partner, was that she had not told the claimant to stay on sick leave and had instead held welfare meetings in which the claimant said she would stay off until matters were sorted out.
The judge found that the claimant had not established any valid claim for unpaid wages for any period during her employment and that there was no valid claim set out in the application on which the tribunal had jurisdiction. The judgment records that the issues the claimant wished to raise about disciplinary matters, grievance issues and alleged bullying were internal matters between employer and employee and not the claim before the tribunal. The claim was therefore dismissed.

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.
