Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningEmployment Judge Skehan, sitting at Watford by CVP on 29 April 2025, heard the claim of Miss M Hart against Crop to Kitchen Limited. The claimant appeared in person; the respondent did not attend. The tribunal found that the complaints of unauthorised deduction from wages and breach of contract in respect of the notice period were well-founded.
The respondent was ordered to pay the claimant a total net sum of £4,635.76 within 14 days of the date of the judgment. This was broken down as £1,356.76 for unauthorised deductions from wages in November 2023, £1,404.40 for pay in respect of January 2024, £324.52 for accrued but untaken holiday at the end of employment, and £1,550.08 in respect of the notice period.
The sums were calculated net, with the employer responsible for any tax or National Insurance contributions due. Reasons were given orally at the hearing; written reasons will not be provided unless requested within 14 days.

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.
