Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal, sitting by telephone on 23 May 2022 before Tribunal Judge Overton acting as an Employment Judge, found three claims brought by Miss Donovan well founded. It accepted the parties’ agreed gross weekly pay figure of £807.69 and found that the Respondent had failed to pay the full wages properly payable for the three-week period from 2 August to 20 August 2021, so that £2,423.07 gross was due for unlawful deductions from wages under section 13 of the Employment Rights Act 1996.
The tribunal also found the wrongful dismissal claim well founded and awarded Miss Donovan one week’s pay in lieu of notice, using the agreed gross weekly pay of £807.69. In addition, it found her claim for compensation related to entitlement to leave under regulation 14 of the Working Time Regulations 1998 well founded and held that she was entitled to 1.25 days of accrued but untaken holiday, calculated as 0.25 of the working week and valued at £201.92 gross.
The tribunal stated that the overall payment due was £3,432.68 gross. It recorded that the figures in the judgment were given gross and that payment would be made net of the required deductions.

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.
