Respondent
Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal held that Mr M Samb was unfairly dismissed, wrongfully dismissed, and that PWA Services Limited unlawfully deducted holiday pay. The respondent did not attend or appear at the remedy hearing before Employment Judge Jones on 28 September 2020. Judgment was sent on 12 October 2020.
On remedy, the tribunal awarded a basic award of £1,337.19, calculated from a monthly wage of £445.73 x 3, and a compensatory award stated as £19,457.23. The compensatory breakdown was wages from October 2019 to October 2020 (£18,676.86), pension loss (£421.20) and 5 days' holiday pay (£359.17). It also awarded notice pay of £718.34 for wrongful dismissal.
The judgment records a total award of £21,513.42 payable forthwith. The figures in the remedy section are not fully consistent, because the final total calculation uses a compensatory figure of £19,457.89 rather than the earlier stated £19,457.23, so the extracted monetary breakdown should be treated cautiously.
Claims and outcomes
3 findings recorded| Claim type | Issue or finding | Outcome | Protected characteristic | Award |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Unfair dismissal | Basic award of £1,337.19 plus compensatory award of £19,457.23; the compensatory breakdown included wages from October 2019 to October 2020 (£18,676.86), pension loss (£421.20) and 5 days' holiday pay (£359.17). The final paragraph uses £19,457.89 in the total calculation, so the remedy arithmetic is inconsistent. | Upheld | — | £20,794 |
| Wrongful dismissal | Notice pay was awarded at £718.34, calculated as two weeks' notice at £359.17 per week. | Upheld | — | £718 |
| Unlawful deduction from wages | The tribunal found that holiday pay had been unlawfully deducted. The holiday pay figure of £359.17 appears within the compensatory award breakdown rather than as a separately totalled sum. | Upheld | — | — |

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.
