Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe case was heard at London South by video on 6 August 2025 before Employment Judge Evans. The respondent did not attend and was not represented. The tribunal found the complaint of unauthorised deductions from wages well-founded and held that Xlog Logistics Limited had made an unauthorised deduction from the claimant's wages for the period from 7 October 2024 to 24 October 2024.
It also found the holiday pay complaint well-founded. The tribunal held that the respondent had failed to pay the claimant for holidays accrued but not taken when the employment ended, and it awarded £108 for that claim.
The tribunal further found that, when the proceedings were begun, the respondent was in breach of its duty to provide the claimant with a written statement of employment particulars. It recorded that there were no exceptional circumstances making an award of two weeks' gross pay unjust or inequitable, and it awarded £800 under section 38 of the Employment Act 2002. The total amount ordered to be paid was £1,828.

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.
