Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningEmployment Judge Welch, sitting at Leicester by CVP on 10 October 2024, considered the claimant's claims against two respondents. Neither respondent attended; the claimant appeared in person. The claims against the second respondent, Alkota Group Limited, were dismissed.
Against the first respondent, Entire Facilities Management Limited (in administration), the tribunal found the complaint of unauthorised deductions from wages well-founded for the period 7 to 14 July 2023 and ordered payment of £1,500.00 gross, with the claimant responsible for any tax or National Insurance. The complaint of breach of contract in relation to notice pay was also well-founded, and the tribunal ordered £19,500.00 in damages, calculated on gross pay to reflect the likelihood of tax being payable on it as Post Employment Notice Pay.
The complaint of unfair dismissal against the first respondent was well-founded and the tribunal ordered a basic award of £2,250.50 and a compensatory award of £500.00, stated to be the actual sums payable after any deductions or uplifts. The Employment Protection (Recoupment of Benefits) Regulations 1996 were recorded as not applying. Reasons were given orally at the hearing; written reasons will only follow on request.

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.
