Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claim was presented in the Manchester Employment Tribunal on 9 May 2025. The respondent failed to present a valid response in time, and Employment Judge Phil Allen determined that the claim could properly be decided under rule 22 of the Rules of Procedure. The respondent's title was amended to Clockworks Steakhouse Ltd to reflect the correct name.
The Tribunal found that the respondent had made unauthorised deductions from the claimant's wages and ordered the respondent to pay the claimant £1,700 gross, with the total sum payable also stated as £1,700.
A notice under Article 12 of the Employment Tribunals (Interest) Order 1990 was appended, recording that the relevant decision day is 27 October 2025, the calculation day is 28 October 2025, and the stipulated rate of interest is 8% per annum where the award is not paid in full within 14 days of the decision being sent to the parties.

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.
