Mr. A Whybrow v Greater Manchester Sports Clubs Limited — 2025

The respondent failed to present a valid response on time, and the Employment Judge determined the claim under rule 22 of the Employment Tribunal Procedure Rules 2024. On that basis, the tribunal accepted the claim and made findings on the monetary claims before it.

The tribunal held that the respondent had made an unauthorised deduction from the claimant’s wages. It ordered payment of £7,207.08, made up of one month’s unpaid wages for December 2024 (£2,333.33), agreed commission on the claimant’s own sales (£3,045.00), and agreed commission on sales of the claimant’s team (£1,828.75).

The tribunal also found that the claimant had been dismissed in breach of contract in respect of notice and awarded £538.46, described as one week’s statutory notice. It further found that the respondent had failed to pay accrued but untaken holiday entitlement and ordered £1,211.54. The total payable under the judgment was £8,957.08. The separate interest notice recorded that no interest is payable if the sum is paid in full within 14 days of the relevant decision day, that interest would otherwise run from 24 October 2025, and that the stipulated rate was 8% per annum.
