Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claim was determined under Rule 21 after the respondent failed to present a valid response on time. The tribunal therefore made a decision on the papers. It found that the respondent had made unauthorised deductions from wages and ordered payment of £668.75 gross.
It also found that the claimant was dismissed in breach of contract in respect of notice and awarded £1,527.30 damages, calculated by reference to 3 weeks' net pay at £509.10 per week. The tribunal further found that the claimant was dismissed by reason of redundancy and was entitled to a redundancy payment of £1,614.00, based on age 41 and 3 years' service at the relevant date.
In addition, the tribunal found that the respondent had failed to pay the claimant's holiday entitlement and ordered £1,385.00 for 12 days' outstanding holiday pay. The application for pension contributions said to have been paid but not credited to the NEST pension was refused because the tribunal held that matter was not within its jurisdiction. The listed hearing for 03/12/2021 was cancelled.

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.
