Mr M Garnette v Assets 365 Limited — 2025

The hearing took place at Watford by CVP on 28 November 2025 before Employment Judge Cowen. The respondent did not attend. The tribunal gave oral reasons at the hearing and later issued the written record of the decision on 2 December 2025.

On wages, the tribunal found the complaint of unauthorised deductions from wages well-founded. It held that the respondent made an unauthorised deduction from the claimant's wages in the sum of £64,666.67 and ordered that gross amount to be paid to the claimant, with the claimant responsible for any tax or National Insurance.

On holiday pay, the tribunal found the complaint well-founded. It held that the respondent made an unauthorised deduction from wages by failing to pay the claimant for holidays accrued but not taken when the employment ended, and ordered payment of £19,999.85, again with the claimant responsible for any tax or National Insurance.

On breach of contract, the tribunal found that the respondent failed to make employer pension contributions from 1 October 2021 to the end of the claimant's employment in December 2023. It ordered payment of £5,400, described as the gross sum which should have been paid into the claimant's pension fund. The total sum payable immediately by the respondent was £90,066.55.
