Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningEmployment Judge Eeley, sitting alone at Manchester by video on 7 February 2025, found the complaints of unauthorised deductions from wages, breach of contract (notice pay) and holiday pay all well-founded against Providence Travel Ltd. The respondent was ordered to pay £3,000 in respect of deductions from wages for February and March 2024, and £975 for holiday accrued but not taken at termination. The notice pay claim succeeded but no additional sum was awarded because that notice pay was already accounted for within the wages deductions award.
The tribunal further found that the respondent had unreasonably failed to comply with the ACAS Code of Practice on Disciplinary and Grievance Procedures 2015, and considered it just and equitable to apply a 10% uplift under s.207A of the Trade Union and Labour Relations (Consolidation) Act 1992, amounting to £397.50. Separately, under section 38 of the Employment Act 2002, the tribunal found the respondent was in breach of its duty to provide a written statement of employment particulars when proceedings began and made an award equal to four weeks' gross pay, being £1,500, having found no exceptional circumstances making such an award unjust or inequitable.
The claimant is responsible for any tax or National Insurance on the sums awarded. Written reasons were not provided as the reasons were given orally at the hearing.

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.
