Ms Gwozda v Clear Crystal UK Ltd — 2025

Employment Judge Childe, sitting alone at Manchester by CVP on 17 September 2025, determined the case under rule 22 on the available material, including information provided by the claimant. The respondent did not attend and the claimant appeared in person. The tribunal found three complaints well-founded: unauthorised deductions from wages between 31 December 2024 and 4 February 2025, a failure to pay holiday pay accrued but not taken at the end of employment, and unfair dismissal.

The respondent was ordered to pay £608 in respect of the wages deduction and £375 in respect of unpaid accrued holiday, with the claimant responsible for any tax or National Insurance on those sums. For the unfair dismissal complaint, the tribunal awarded a basic award of £3,136 and a compensatory award of £784, noting that these were the actual sums payable after any deductions or uplifts had been applied.

The claimant confirmed that no other claims were being advanced. Reasons were given orally at the hearing and written reasons will not be provided unless requested within 14 days. The judgment was sent to the parties on 27 October 2025, with statutory interest under the Employment Tribunals (Interest) Order 1990 accruing from 28 October 2025 at 8% per annum if not paid within 14 days.
