Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal determined the case under Rule 21 of the Employment Tribunals Rules of Procedure 2013. Employment Judge M Butler found that the respondent had made an unauthorised deduction from the claimant's wages of £3,333.33, and was liable to pay a further £500 in respect of a bonus payment for the late payment of the claimant's June 2024 salary.
The tribunal also found that the claimant was dismissed in breach of contract in respect of notice, and ordered the respondent to pay £9,999.99 in damages. This figure was calculated using gross pay to reflect the likelihood that the claimant would have to pay tax on it as Post Employment Notice Pay. In addition, the respondent was found to have failed to pay the claimant's accrued but untaken annual leave entitlement on termination, and was ordered to pay £615.38 gross.
Consequently, the respondent was ordered to pay the claimant a total sum of £14,448.70. The hearing previously listed for 9 December 2024 was cancelled.

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.
