Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningEmployment Judge Ahmed, sitting alone at Nottingham, gave judgment for Mrs Dawn Beachus after a hearing on 18 July 2024 at which Isys Care Ltd did not appear or have representation. The tribunal found that the complaint of unauthorised deductions from wages was well-founded and ordered the respondent to pay £1,201.62 gross, with the claimant responsible for any tax or National Insurance.
The tribunal also found that the breach of contract complaint relating to notice pay was well-founded and awarded £4,443.60 gross as damages. It found the unpaid holiday pay complaint well-founded, recording that the respondent made an unauthorised deduction from wages by failing to pay for holidays accrued but not taken when the claimant's employment ended, and awarded £987.44 gross.
The claimant was found to have been unfairly dismissed. The tribunal further 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 £9,234.33 and a compensatory award of £6,358.25. The compensatory award comprised £4,430.60 for loss of earnings, £643.00 for loss of statutory rights, and a 25% uplift of £1,271.65. The judgment states the total award for unfair dismissal as £15,592.58.

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.
