Key findings

Tribunal's reasoning

At the CVP hearing on 6 and 7 December 2022 and 24 January 2023 before Employment Judge F Allen, the claimant's claim for unauthorised deduction of wages succeeded. The tribunal awarded January 2022 wages of £3,166.67, January 2022 overtime of £1,530, 5 days' holiday pay of £720, and 12 nights in Israel at £165 per night, giving a gross sum of £7,396.67. It also allowed underpayments for February 2021 (£83.86) and August 2021 (£329.14), together with personal expenses of £459.60 after agreed deductions and a 20% gross-up.

The respondent was ordered to pay the claimant a total gross sum of £7,856.27, subject to any tax and national insurance deductions. The claimant's remaining claims for overtime for December 2020, holiday trade for November and December 2021, and hotel expenses of £590 were dismissed. The tribunal also recorded that the claimant withdrew a claim for £160 of personal expenses, which was dismissed.

The respondent's counterclaim succeeded, and the claimant was ordered to pay £24,000. The tribunal noted that the parties had agreed a process under which the claimant was to return company property by 10 February 2023, with an inspection for damage by an independent valuer agreed by the parties or, if necessary, by the manufacturer of each item.

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.
