Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal corrected the respondent's title to Claire MacAloney, trading as Beauty In The Square. It found that the claimant's claim for unlawful deduction from wages succeeded because she had not been paid her full salary between 30 March 2019 and 25 May 2019, and it awarded £1,920 for unpaid salary during that period.
The tribunal also upheld the claimant's breach of contract claim, finding that the respondent failed to give notice of dismissal. It awarded £410, described as one week's notice pay. In addition, the tribunal found that the respondent had not provided the claimant with a statement of the main terms of employment as required by Part 1 of the Employment Rights Act 1996.
Pursuant to s.38 of the Employment Act 2002, the tribunal awarded £1,640 for that failure, representing four weeks' gross pay. The judgment record states that reasons were given orally at the hearing and no written reasons would be provided unless requested. The total monetary award was £3,970.

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.
