Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal determined the case under Rule 21 of the Employment Tribunals Rules of Procedure 2013. Employment Judge Dunlop found that the respondent had made an unauthorised deduction from the claimant's wages and had dismissed the claimant in breach of contract in respect of notice, with notice damages calculated on a gross basis to reflect the likelihood of tax treatment as Post Employment Notice Pay.
The tribunal further found that the respondent had breached the contract of employment by failing to pay pension contributions due, and permitted the claimant to amend his claim to add a complaint regarding student loan contributions, which was also upheld as a breach of contract. The tribunal also found that the respondent had failed to pay accrued but untaken annual leave entitlement on termination.
The total sum ordered to be paid by the respondent to the claimant was £4,604.69. The hearing previously listed for 28 November 2024 was cancelled. A notice under Article 12 of the Employment Tribunals (Interest) Order 1990 was issued, identifying 20 November 2024 as the relevant decision day, 21 November 2024 as the calculation day, and 8% per annum as the stipulated rate of interest.

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.
