Respondent
Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claimant, Mr D. Murray, brought claims arising from his employment with Tetra Noble Limited. The respondent did not attend the hearing. Employment Judge S. Matthews found that the respondent had made unauthorised deductions from wages by failing to pay the claimant the full amount of wages due for 1 August 2022 to 2 September 2022 inclusive, and by failing to pay commission due for August 2022.
The tribunal also found an unauthorised deduction in respect of payment in lieu of accrued but untaken annual leave on termination of employment, and held that the respondent was in breach of contract by failing to pay notice pay due under the contract. The tribunal ordered £3,284.58 for unpaid wages, £1,000 for unpaid commission, £284.58 for untaken annual leave, and £692.31 for notice pay, making a total award of £5,261.47.
In addition, the tribunal recorded that the respondent failed to provide written itemised pay statements as required by section 8 of the Employment Rights Act 1996. The judgment does not record a separate monetary award for that finding.

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.
