Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningAt the hearing in Nottingham on 7 September 2022, Employment Judge Varnam found that Ms D Mason had been unfairly dismissed and wrongfully dismissed by Jigsaw Homecare Ltd. For unfair dismissal, the tribunal awarded a basic award of £2,492.28 and a compensatory award of £2,722.41, made up of £1,898.95 loss of earnings to the date of the final hearing, £323.46 future loss of earnings, and £500 for loss of statutory rights. The written judgment records that the compensatory award was £20 less than the figure stated orally during the hearing.
The tribunal also found unlawful deductions from wages because statutory sick pay payable on 24 November 2021 had not been paid, and ordered payment of £423.00 gross. It further found that the respondent had not paid the claimant in lieu of 11 days' accrued but untaken annual leave on termination, and ordered payment of £456.94 gross in respect of that deduction. The gross damages for wrongful dismissal were £770.80.
The total sum payable in respect of all claims was certified at £6,865.43. The Employment Protection (Recoupment of Benefits) Regulations 1996 applied, with a prescribed element of £1,885.95 for the period 20 January 2022 to 7 September 2022 and an excess of £4,979.48.

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.
