Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal, sitting remotely before Employment Judge J Shepherd, dealt with claims by Mr Darren Smith and Mr Andrew Davies against IAS Electrical Ltd. The respondent did not enter a response and was not present or represented. Oral reasons were given at the hearing and the judgment was issued on 19 October 2022, entered in the register on 20 October 2022.
The tribunal upheld Mr Darren Smith's complaint of unauthorised deduction from wages and awarded him £3,312, subject to any statutory deductions properly due. It also upheld his complaint for holiday pay accrued but not paid at termination and awarded him £460.80, again subject to any statutory deductions properly due.
The tribunal also upheld Mr Andrew Davies's complaint of unauthorised deduction from wages and awarded him £3,402, subject to any statutory deductions properly due. It further upheld his holiday pay complaint and awarded £460.80; the paragraph recording that award refers to payment to 'the first claimant', which appears to be a drafting error, but the award is plainly associated with the second claimant's complaint.
No other remedies were recorded. The judgment does not set out a separate calculation for interest or any broader compensation; the sums awarded are the gross amounts ordered to be paid, less any statutory deductions properly due.

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.
