Miss River Turner v Prestigious Home Care Ltd — 2026

Employment Judge Ahmed Date made a Rule 21 judgment after the respondent failed to present a valid response on time. The judgment was entered on the papers and the hearing listed for 3 December 2021 was cancelled.

The tribunal found that the respondent had made unauthorised deductions from the claimant’s wages and ordered payment of £420 gross. It also found that the claimant had been dismissed in breach of contract in respect of notice and awarded £1,680, being four weeks’ pay at £420 per week. The claimant was found to have been dismissed by reason of redundancy and was awarded a redundancy payment of £1,883, calculated on age 25, four years’ service and a weekly pay figure capped at £538. The tribunal further found that the respondent had failed to pay holiday entitlement and ordered £588 gross, being seven days’ pay.

The judgment refused the claimant’s application concerning pension contributions paid but not credited to the NEST pension scheme, on the basis that this was not a matter within the jurisdiction of the Employment Tribunals.
