Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claim was issued on 8 March 2022 in the Midlands East Employment Tribunals. The respondent failed to present a valid response on time, and the Employment Judge decided that a determination could properly be made under Rule 21 of the Employment Tribunals Rules of Procedure 2013. The judgment therefore entered findings on the claim without a contested hearing.
The tribunal found that the respondent made unauthorised deductions from wages and ordered £2,065.28 gross. It also found that the claimant had been dismissed in breach of contract in respect of notice and awarded £476.60 gross in damages. A further finding was made that the respondent had failed to pay the claimant's holiday entitlement, with an award of £2,221.42.
The tribunal additionally found that the respondent had failed to provide written particulars of employment or updated particulars. It recorded that there had been no attempt to comply and no good reason advanced for the failure, and said that an award of four weeks' pay was just and equitable. On that basis it ordered £1,906.40, calculated at £476.60 x 4. The tribunal also found a breach of contract arising from failure to pay pension contributions due and ordered £139.08. All future hearings were cancelled, and the total awarded in the judgment was £6,808.78 gross.

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.
