Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe Tribunal, Employment Judge Ahmed sitting alone at Nottingham on 18 July 2024, recorded that the respondent did not appear and was not represented. The complaint of unauthorised deductions from wages was well-founded, and Isys Care Ltd was ordered to pay Mrs Claire Hurt £1,565.00 gross, with the claimant responsible for any tax or National Insurance.
The complaint of breach of contract in relation to notice pay was well-founded. The respondent was ordered to pay £4,470.12 gross as damages for breach of contract, again with the claimant responsible for any tax and National Insurance. The complaint in respect of unpaid holiday pay was also well-founded; the Tribunal found that the respondent made an unauthorised deduction from wages by failing to pay for holidays accrued but not taken when employment ended, and awarded £998.30 gross.
The Tribunal found that the claimant was unfairly dismissed. It also found that the respondent unreasonably failed to comply with the ACAS Code of Practice on Disciplinary and Grievance Procedures 2015, and that it was just and equitable to increase the compensatory award by 25% under s 207A Trade Union & Labour Relations (Consolidation) Act 1992.
For unfair dismissal, the Tribunal awarded a basic award of £8,602.44 and a compensatory award of £6,382.24, made up of £4,470.12 loss of earnings, £634.00 loss of statutory rights, and a £1,278.28 uplift. The total unfair dismissal award was £14,984.68. Across the sums expressly ordered for unauthorised deductions, notice pay, holiday pay, and unfair dismissal, the monetary awards total £22,018.10.

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.
