Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThis was a remedy judgment heard by Employment Judge Hutchings sitting alone by CVP on 11 February 2025. The respondent did not attend. The tribunal recorded that the claimant, Goda Siaulyte, was entitled to judgment on the papers for the money claims identified in the judgment.
The tribunal found the complaint of unauthorised deductions from wages well-founded. It identified a gross hourly rate of £11.45 and awarded £1,568.65 for deductions in relation to wages. The judgment states the period as September 2023 to September 2024, but the listed deductions are September, October and November 2023, made up of 4 hours in September, 60 hours in October and 73 hours in November.
The tribunal also found the complaint about non-payment of pension contributions well-founded. It awarded £495.24 for sums deducted for August to November 2023 that were not received by the pension provider. It then made further awards of £185.64 for monthly employer pension contributions and £247.52 for monthly employee pension contributions, both said to relate to July 2023 to September 2024.
The complaint in respect of holiday pay was also well-founded. The tribunal found that holiday had accrued but not been taken when employment ended, and it calculated that 139.6 hours of holiday pay were due at £11.45 per hour. That produced a gross award of £1,598.42. The tribunal said the claimant was responsible for any tax or National Insurance on the gross sums. The total award was £4,095.47.

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.
