Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal held that Pairview Limited unlawfully deducted two sums from Mr F Gueret's final wages: £657.53 for the period 1 to 8 April 2019 and £576.92 for annual leave accrued but untaken. It ordered the respondent to pay those sums, giving a total award of £1,234.45 as wages.
The judgment explains that Mr Gueret's salary was £30,000 and was treated as accruing daily, which produced the unpaid wages figure of 8/365 of annual salary. For the leave element, the tribunal said the dismissal took effect on 8 April 2019, 97 days into the leave year, and that under the Working Time Regulations 1998 he had accrued 1.48 weeks, or 7.44 days, of leave. His contract limited compensation in lieu of leave to 5 working days, equivalent to one week's pay of £576.92.
The tribunal also said the respondent breached the claimant's contract of employment by withholding the sums, but it made no separate award under the Employment Tribunals Extension of Jurisdiction (England and Wales) Order 1994. The respondent's counterclaim under that Order was dismissed, and the recoupment regulations did not apply to the awards.

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.
