Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningEmployment Judge Ahmed, sitting alone at Nottingham on 18 July 2024, decided that Mrs Sarah Turner's complaint of unauthorised deductions from wages was well-founded. Isys Care Ltd was ordered to pay £230 gross, with the claimant responsible for any tax or National Insurance.
The tribunal also found the breach of contract complaint in relation to notice pay well-founded and awarded £1,155 gross as damages. The complaint in respect of unpaid holiday pay was well-founded; the judgment records that the respondent made an unauthorised deduction from wages by failing to pay for holidays accrued but not taken when employment ended, and awarded £441.37 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 £1,442 and a compensatory award of £4,119, made up of £2,788 for loss of earnings, £634 for loss of statutory rights and a £697 uplift. The total unfair dismissal award was £5,561. Together with the separate awards for unauthorised deductions, notice pay and holiday pay, the total monetary sums ordered are £7,387.37.

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.
