Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claim was presented in the Manchester Employment Tribunal on 6 April 2025. The respondent did not present a valid response on time, and Employment Judge Phil Allen recorded that a determination could properly be made under rule 22 of the Rules of Procedure.
The tribunal held that the complaint of unauthorised deductions from wages was well-founded. It found that the respondent had made unauthorised deductions from the claimant's wages for December 2024, January 2025 and February 2025. The respondent was ordered to pay the claimant £5,591.20 gross.
The written judgment also stated that the claimant would be responsible for any tax liabilities arising out of the gross award if tax was not deducted at source. A separate notice on interest was attached, stating that interest would not be payable if the sum was paid within 14 days of the written decision and otherwise would run from 1 April 2026 at 8% per annum, but no separate interest figure was included in the judgment.

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.
