Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningEmployment Judge Heap, sitting alone, heard the case by Cloud Video Platform on 26 November 2021. The respondent did not attend and made no representations. The written judgment records that oral reasons were given at the hearing and that written reasons would only be provided if requested.
The tribunal upheld the claimant's unauthorised deduction from wages complaint and ordered the respondent to pay £1,103.52 net. It also found that the claimant was dismissed in breach of contract and ordered £1,504.80 for the notice to which she was entitled on termination.
The tribunal further found that the respondent had not paid the claimant for accrued but untaken annual leave on termination and ordered £752.40 net for that complaint. It found that the claimant was dismissed by reason of redundancy but had not been paid a redundancy payment, and ordered a redundancy payment of £1,316.70. The separate monetary awards total £4,677.42, although the judgment did not state a single aggregate total.

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.
