Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningAt a preliminary hearing on 6 September 2021 before Employment Judge Camp, the respondent did not appear. The tribunal gave reasons orally and dealt with the matter in public by CVP. It found that the respondent failed to give the claimant notice of termination of employment and that this entitled her to damages for breach of contract in the sum of £375.
The tribunal also found that the respondent had made unauthorised deductions from wages in two respects. First, it had failed to pay the claimant £938.54 for work done. Second, it had deducted £306.50 for pension contributions but failed to pay that amount to the claimant's pension provider. The tribunal noted that employer pension contributions were also unpaid, but said those could not be claimed by the claimant in the Employment Tribunal.
The total sum payable by the respondent was £1,620.04, comprising the breach of contract damages and the two successful unlawful deduction claims.

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.
