Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningEmployment Judge Humble, sitting alone in a remote CVP hearing at which the respondent did not attend, found that the claimant was unfairly dismissed and that the respondent had made multiple unauthorised deductions from her wages, failed to pay accrued holiday entitlement on termination, and was in breach of contract for failing to reimburse expenses.
The tribunal ordered the respondent to pay £2,120.11 for unfair dismissal (basic award £1,307.69; compensatory award £812.42), £3,901.83 for shortfalls in pay between 1 November 2024 and 2 January 2025, £1,480 for pension contributions deducted from pay but not contributed to a pension scheme between 1 May 2024 and 2 January 2025, £1,569.23 for 12 days of accrued holiday pay, and £700 for unreimbursed expenses. The total award is £9,771.17. The Recoupment Regulations do not apply.

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.
