Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claim was heard at London East Hearing Centre on 13 March 2025 before Employment Judge Howden-Evans, with the claimant in person and no attendance by the respondent. The respondent had failed to present a valid response in time and had been aware of the proceedings since December 2024 without applying for an extension. The Employment Judge determined the claim under rule 22 of the Rules of Procedure notwithstanding the respondent's email of 12 March 2025.
The tribunal found the complaints of unauthorised deduction from wages, breach of contract in relation to notice pay, holiday pay, and refusal to permit rest breaks under the Working Time Regulations 1998 to be well-founded. It also found that the respondent was in breach of its duty to provide a written statement of employment particulars at the time proceedings were begun, and considered it just and equitable to make an award equal to four weeks' gross pay under section 38 Employment Act 2002.
The respondent was ordered to pay £101.18 for the unauthorised deduction, £459.68 for notice pay, £441.16 for holiday pay, £96 for the rest breaks claim, and £1,838.73 under section 38, totalling £2,936.75. The Employment Protection (Recoupment of Benefits) Regulations 1996 do not apply. Interest will accrue at 8% per annum on any amount unpaid 14 days after the judgment date.

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.
