Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claim was issued on 27 September 2021. The respondent failed to present a valid response on time, and the Employment Judge determined the matter under Rule 21 of the Employment Tribunals Rules of Procedure 2013. On that basis, the judgment records findings on the papers rather than after a contested hearing.
The tribunal found that the respondent had made unauthorised deductions from the claimant’s wages in respect of unpaid wages for the period 5 July 2021 to 11 July 2021 and ordered payment of £550.00 gross. It also found that the respondent had breached the claimant’s contract of employment and/or made unauthorised deductions from wages in respect of non-payment of unpaid holiday for worked bank holidays, and ordered £1,650.00 gross in respect of that complaint.
The tribunal further found that the respondent had failed to pay the claimant’s holiday entitlement and ordered £1,430.00 gross. The hearing listed for 28 January 2022 was cancelled. The judgment does not record any separate award for interest or any other remedy beyond the three gross sums ordered to be paid.

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.
