Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningBy judgment dated 31 October 2023, the tribunal corrected the respondent's name to BDR Enterprise Limited and dismissed the claims against all other respondents. It found that the respondent had made unauthorised deductions from the claimant's wages during the period 1 June 2023 to 31 July 2023.
On that complaint, the tribunal ordered the respondent to pay £5,542 as the net sum deducted and a further £500 to compensate the claimant for financial loss attributable to the deduction. It also recorded that the respondent must account to HMRC for any outstanding tax or National Insurance, if any, on the deducted sum.
The tribunal further found that the respondent was in breach of its duty to give the claimant a written statement of particulars of employment, or a change to those particulars. It considered it just and equitable to award four weeks' pay and ordered payment of £5,000 gross, subject to any required deductions for tax and National Insurance.
The claims for a redundancy payment and for notice pay were dismissed because the tribunal found those claims had not yet arisen when the claim was issued. The claimant remained employed at the date of issue, and there was no application to amend. The tribunal also stated that it could not award the claimant the income tax or pension refund.

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.
