Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningAt the hearing on 20 May 2021 at the East London Hearing Centre, Employment Judge S Knight found that Essex Farms Services Ltd had made unauthorised deductions from Mr R Kaye's wages, had failed to provide a written statement of particulars of employment, had failed to provide payslips, and was in breach of contract.
The tribunal ordered compensation of £3,614.04, made up of £1,094.04 for unauthorised deductions from wages excluding holiday pay, £270 for unauthorised deductions in the form of holiday pay, £1,800 for failure to provide a written statement of particulars of employment, and £450 for breach of contract. The judgment also records the failure to provide payslips, but the award paragraph does not allocate a separate sum to that finding.
In addition, the respondent was ordered to pay the claimant's costs of £720.

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.
