Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningEmployment Judge Lumby, sitting alone at Croydon by CVP on 23 February 2026, heard three complaints brought by Mrs Fathima Rizna Rizan against Authentic Catering Limited. The claimant appeared in person and the respondent was represented by Mr M Thahir, a director.
The Tribunal found that the complaint of unauthorised deductions from wages was well-founded, the respondent having made a deduction in the period 1 to 16 February 2025, and ordered payment of £516 gross. The complaint of breach of contract in relation to notice pay was also well-founded, with £3,120 awarded as damages, calculated on a gross basis to reflect the likelihood of Post Employment Notice Pay tax treatment. The complaint in respect of holiday pay was likewise well-founded, the respondent having failed to pay accrued but untaken holiday on termination, and £862.80 was ordered.
Reasons were given orally at the hearing; written reasons will not be provided unless requested at the hearing or within 14 days of the written record being sent.

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.
