Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claimant was employed as an Office Administrator between 24 February 2025 and 31 May 2025. She brought a claim of unlawful deduction from wages under s.13 ERA 1996 for an unpaid £200 training fee for her first week and £820 for her last two weeks of employment. The respondent had filed a Response Form denying she ever worked for it.
Employment Judge Hallen, sitting alone at the East London Hearing Centre, proceeded in the respondent's absence after waiting 20 minutes. Having reviewed the Claim Form, Response Form, hearing notice and text messages produced by the claimant evidencing the work she undertook and her requests for payment, the Judge accepted the claimant's evidence that she had worked for the respondent and was owed the sums claimed.
The Tribunal rejected the respondent's assertion that the claimant had not worked for it and ordered the respondent to pay £1,020 in respect of unlawful deductions made from her salary.

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.
