Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningAt the remedy hearing on 10 December 2019, before Employment Judge Sweeney sitting alone, Miss Begom appeared in person and Standby Healthcare Ltd did not appear. The tribunal referred to its earlier judgment dated 21 November 2019, in which the claimant had succeeded on unfair dismissal, breach of contract, unlawful deduction of wages, and failure to pay compensation for untaken annual leave under regulation 30 of the Working Time Regulations 1998.
On unfair dismissal, the tribunal found that the claimant had been dismissed without notice on 21 June 2019 and was entitled to one month’s notice. It awarded a basic award of £1,050, calculated as 2 years at £525, and a compensatory award of £16,920. That compensatory award was made up of £4,020 for six weeks of past loss, £12,000 for six months of future loss, £450 for overdraft fees and bank charges, and £450 for loss of statutory rights, giving a total unfair dismissal award of £17,970.
The tribunal also awarded £2,916.67 for wrongful dismissal/breach of contract in respect of notice pay, £2,004.52 for breach of contract concerning pension contributions not paid to NEST, and £1,980 for holiday pay. The claimant’s evidence was that she obtained a new job on 22 July 2019, lost that job in September 2019 after the owner of Standby Healthcare contacted the new employer, was out of work from 19 September 2019 until 1 November 2019, and was then earning less than before. The total award was £24,871.19.

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.
