Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claim was issued on 8 January 2024 and listed for a final hearing on 27 September 2024. Neither respondent attended or filed a response in time, and the tribunal was satisfied that the notice of hearing had been properly served. The judge therefore determined the claim under rule 21 of the Employment Tribunals Rules of Procedure 2013.
The claimant said she had worked for Rhino Plant Hire Ltd and then for Rhino Ready Mix Ltd after the latter began trading. The tribunal found that a relevant transfer from the First Respondent to the Second Respondent took place on 6 October 2023 under TUPE, and that the claimant's employment continued without changes to her terms and role.
The tribunal upheld the complaint of unauthorised deductions from wages. It found that the Second Respondent failed to pay 2 weeks' notice pay of £1,292.31 gross, 2 weeks' redundancy pay of £1,292.31 gross, and 11 days' holiday pay of £1,012.60 gross.
The Second Respondent was ordered to pay £3,597.22 gross, with tax and National Insurance to be deducted at source. The written reasons record a different first itemised figure in paragraph 6, but the total ordered was £3,597.22.

| Unlawful deduction from wages | The tribunal found the complaint of unauthorised deductions from wages well-founded. It identified three unpaid items: 2 weeks' notice pay, 2 weeks' redundancy pay, and 11 days' holiday pay. The order was made against the Second Respondent after a relevant transfer from Rhino Plant Hire Ltd to Rhino Ready Mix Ltd on 6 October 2023 under TUPE. Paragraph 6 contains a likely typographical inconsistency in the first itemized figure, but the written total ordered was £3,597.22 gross. | Upheld | — | £3,597 |

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.
