Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThis was a remote hearing on the papers, with the Claimant appearing in person and no appearance or representation for the Respondent. Employment Judge Jones heard the case at East London Hearing Centre on 4 May 2020 and gave judgment on 5 May 2020. The tribunal dealt only with an unlawful deductions from wages claim.
The tribunal found that the Claimant’s wage rate was £13 per hour and that he worked for the Respondent between 11 August and 6 September 2019. It found that he was not paid for 82 hours and that the Respondent had deducted £1,066 gross from his wages.
On remedy, the tribunal held that the total amount due to the Claimant was £750 net wages. It ordered the Respondent to pay that sum immediately. No other remedy component was identified in the judgment.

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.
