Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe hearing took place at Norwich by CVP on 30 July 2025 before Employment Judge M Warren. The claimant appeared in person and the respondent did not attend. The tribunal adjudicated four complaints arising from the end of the claimant's employment with Emtac Limited.
The complaint of breach of contract relating to notice pay was well-founded, and the respondent was ordered to pay £18,000 as damages, calculated using gross pay to reflect that the sum is likely to be treated as Post Employment Notice Pay. The tribunal determined under section 163 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 that the claimant was entitled to a redundancy payment of £3,150. The holiday pay complaint was also well-founded, with the respondent in breach of contract for failing to pay holidays accrued but not taken, and £3,461.50 was awarded as damages.
The complaint of unauthorised deductions from wages for the period 1 to 31 May 2024 was well-founded, and the respondent was ordered to pay £6,000 as the gross sum deducted. Written reasons were not provided with the judgment; they will only be issued if 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.
