Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe Tribunal found the complaint of unauthorised deductions from wages was well-founded. It found that the respondent made an unauthorised deduction from the claimant's wages for the period 19 August to 17 September 2024, and awarded the gross sum deducted.
The Tribunal also found the holiday pay complaint was well-founded because the respondent failed to pay for 6.5 accrued but untaken holiday days when the claimant's employment ended. It further found the notice pay complaint was well-founded because the claimant did not receive the 4 weeks' notice required by her contract.
On redundancy, the Tribunal found the respondent had ceased carrying on the business for the purpose for which the claimant was employed, which was dismissal by reason of redundancy, and awarded 4 weeks' statutory redundancy pay. The total sum ordered was £4,134.

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.
