Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningMiss Emma Hemphill brought a claim against PCM Homecare Limited for unauthorised deduction of wages under section 13 of the Employment Rights Act 1996. Employment Judge S Shore found the claim well-founded and upheld it. The tribunal accepted the claimant's calculation that she was owed 4 weeks' pay at £480 per week, totalling £1,920 gross, together with £220 gross for on-call payments, calculated as 8 weekdays at £15 per day and 4 weekend days at £25 per day.
The claimant also brought a breach of contract claim for failure to pay expenses under Article 4 of the Employment Tribunals Extension of Jurisdiction (England & Wales) Order 1994. That claim was also found well-founded and succeeded. The tribunal awarded £53.60 gross for travel expenses, calculated at 40p per mile for 134 miles.
The total payable by the respondent to the claimant was £2,193.60 gross. The judgment records no separate award for interest, injury to feelings, or other remedy components.

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.
