Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claim was issued on 9 June 2022 and determined under rule 21 because the respondents failed to present a valid response on time. On that basis, the Employment Judge decided that a determination could properly be made without a hearing on the papers.
The tribunal found that the respondent had made unauthorised deductions from the claimant's wages and awarded £700.00 net. It also found that the claimant was dismissed in breach of contract in respect of notice and awarded £700.00 net in damages for that claim.
The tribunal further found that the claimant was dismissed by reason of redundancy and awarded a redundancy payment of £2,362.50. In addition, it found that the respondent had failed to pay the claimant's holiday entitlement and awarded £700.00 net.
Finally, the tribunal awarded £100.00 net in relation to an unlawful deduction of wages for unpaid overtime. The total monetary award recorded in the judgment was £4,562.50 net.

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.
