Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe Tribunal upheld the claimant's complaint of unauthorised deductions from wages, finding that the respondent had failed to pay the claimant for 24.75 hours worked in May 2024 at £11.50 per hour gross, totalling £284.63. The respondent did not attend.
The Tribunal also found that the respondent was in breach of its duty to provide the claimant with a written statement of employment particulars and made an award equal to two weeks' gross pay (£230) under section 38 of the Employment Act 2002, but did not consider it just and equitable to make an award of four weeks' pay.
The claimant's application for damages for injury to feelings and aggravated damages totalling £10,519 was refused. The Tribunal also ordered the respondent to pay £1,500 in costs to the claimant under Rule 74 of the Employment Tribunal Procedure Rules 2024, on the basis that the respondent had acted unreasonably in seeking to defend the claim because its response had no reasonable prospect of success (rule 76(2)(a) and (b)).

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.
