Respondent
Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe hearing took place at Watford via CVP before Employment Judge D Wright. The Respondent did not attend and was not represented. The Claimant's representative confirmed that the Respondent had paid the December 2023 salary and redundancy pay, and those claims were therefore dismissed.
The tribunal found that the claim for accrued but untaken annual leave was well founded and ordered payment of £880.00. It also found that the claim for employer pension contributions was well founded and ordered payment of £743.63, and that the claim relating to employee contributions deducted from pay but not paid to the pension scheme was well founded and ordered payment of £400.40.
The tribunal further found that the claim for a December 2023 payslip was well founded and ordered the Respondent to provide a copy forthwith. The total sum ordered was £2,024.03, and the payslip was to be delivered within 14 days of the order being sent to the parties.

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.
