Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claim was issued on 22 March 2022. The respondents did not present a valid response in time, and Employment Judge George Date determined the claim under rule 21 of the Employment Tribunals Rules of Procedure 2013. On that basis, the tribunal found that the respondent had made unauthorised deductions from the claimant’s wages and ordered payment of £5,044.00 gross.
The tribunal also found that the respondent had failed to pay the claimant’s holiday entitlement and ordered payment of £4,032.00. The judgment records that the total payable on those two claims was £9,076.
The claim for failure to provide itemized pay statements succeeded. No remedy was determined for that issue in this judgment. The tribunal listed a remedy hearing to consider whether the respondent owed the claimant £1,500 in respect of a retained deposit addition to unpaid wages, whether any sum should be ordered under s.12(4) of the Employment Rights Act 1996, and the appropriate remedy for the failure to enroll the claimant in a pension scheme.

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.
