Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe respondent failed to file a response. Employment Judge Smail therefore entered judgment on the claimant's claim for unauthorised deductions from earnings and found it well-founded.
The tribunal ordered the respondent to pay £2,485.91 gross earnings. It noted that the net figure would have been £1,774.95 had PAYE/NIC of £710.96 been paid, but those sums had not been paid.
The tribunal also allowed preparation time, assessing 3 hours at £39 per hour, producing an additional £117. The total ordered to be paid was £2,602.91 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.
