Respondent
Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningNo response was presented, and the Employment Judge issued judgment on the available material under rule 21. The tribunal found that the respondent had made an unauthorised deduction from wages for the period 1 September 2020 to 21 September 2020, calculated at the 80% furlough rate, and ordered payment of £334.85.
The tribunal also found that the claimant had been dismissed in breach of contract in respect of notice and awarded £279.04 as damages for two weeks' notice, based on 32 hours at the hourly minimum wage rate of £8.72. It further found that the claimant was dismissed by reason of redundancy and was entitled to a redundancy payment of £279.04, calculated by reference to age, length of service, and weekly pay of £139.52.
Finally, the tribunal held that the respondent had failed to pay the claimant's holiday entitlement and ordered payment of £286.89, calculated on 32.9 hours at £8.72 per hour. The judgment stated that tax and employee national insurance deductions could be made from sums treated as earnings if required by law and properly remitted to HMRC.

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.
