Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningEmployment Judge Massarella heard the case at East London Hearing Centre on 17 April 2023. The Claimant, Ms D. Murrells, appeared in person. The Respondent, Careinmyhome Ltd, did not attend and was not represented. The tribunal found that the Claimant worked under a contract of employment and that the Respondent dismissed her on 6 October 2022.
The tribunal upheld a claim for unauthorised deductions from wages in relation to work carried out in September 2022. It found that the amount unlawfully deducted was £807.23 gross. The tribunal also upheld a working time claim under regs 13 and 14 of the Working Time Regulations 1998 in respect of accrued but untaken holiday carried forward from the 2021/2022 leave period, for which £560 gross was due on termination.
The judgment recorded total compensation of £1,367.23 gross. The Respondent was ordered to deduct tax and national insurance as required and to pay the balance directly to the Claimant, together with a clear statement showing the deductions made.

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.
