Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal, sitting alone at Watford on 16 June 2021 before Employment Judge Reindorf, held that Mrs S Johnston succeeded in her unfair dismissal claim. It awarded a basic award of £6,300 and a compensatory award of £18,495. The written record states that the compensatory award was subject to the Employment Protection (Recoupment of Benefits) Regulations 1996, with a prescribed element of £18,495 and a prescribed period from 10 January 2020 to 9 January 2021, leaving no excess over the prescribed element.
The wrongful dismissal claim also succeeded, but the tribunal made no order for damages in respect of it. The complaint of failure to provide written employment particulars succeeded, and the respondent was ordered to pay £2,100 forthwith. The claim for unauthorised deductions from wages in respect of notice pay succeeded, with compensation of £6,165.
The claim for unauthorised deductions from wages in respect of holiday pay was dismissed on withdrawal. The total of the monetary awards made was £33,060, made up of the basic award, compensatory award, written particulars award, and notice pay award.

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.
