Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe Tribunal proceeded in the respondent's absence under Rule 47 of the Employment Tribunal Procedure Rules 2024, having considered the case file, the information available to it, and enquiries practicable as to the reasons for the respondent's absence. The respondent was not present and not represented at the hearing.
All three claimants succeeded in claims for unauthorised deductions from wages. Mr Muhammad Ateeq Farooq succeeded in respect of arrears of pay for December 2024 and March 2025 and was awarded £2,695.82. Mr Khurram Shehzad succeeded in respect of arrears of pay for February, March, April, May and June 2025 and was awarded £6,324.78. Mrs Kalsoom Shahzadi succeeded in respect of arrears of pay for April, May, June and July 2025 and was awarded £6,447.98.
Each claimant also succeeded in a claim described as unauthorised deductions from wages for holiday pay. Mr Farooq was awarded £3,841.04 for holiday pay between 1 July 2024 and 5 July 2025. Mr Shehzad was awarded £4,788.00 for holiday pay between 1 April 2024 and 8 July 2025. Mrs Shahzadi was awarded £4,102.56 for holiday pay between July 2024 and July 2025.

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.
