Mrs E Zubrzycka- Gadjel v Kinga Newson – Domowe Obiady u Babci — 2022

The respondent did not attend or be represented at the hearing. The tribunal recorded that the respondent had been warned on 29 September 2022 that judgment might be entered, and it proceeded to determine the claim in the respondent's absence. Employment Judge Byrne sat alone at East London Hearing Centre by telephone on 3 November 2022, with judgment dated 4 November 2022.

The tribunal held that the respondent made an unauthorised deduction from the claimant's wages, that the holiday pay claim succeeded, and that the claim for failure to give a statement of employment particulars also succeeded. No discrimination or dismissal claim was recorded in the judgment. The tribunal did not set out any legal test by name in the extracted text.

On remedy, the tribunal awarded £1,008 for unauthorised deduction from wages, reflecting 224 hours at £9.00 per hour less £1,008 already paid by the respondent on 25/5/22. It awarded £601.92 for holiday pay, based on 66.88 hours at £9.00 per hour, and £288 for failure to give a statement of employment particulars, based on two weeks' pay calculated as 32 hours at £9.00 per hour.

The total sum payable was £1,897.92 forthwith. The judgment does not separate the award into basic, compensatory, interest, or other heads beyond the individual amounts stated for each successful claim.
