Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal upheld the claimant’s unlawful deduction from wages claim in relation to hours worked on 7, 9 and 10 July 2024. It found that wages due on Tuesday 16 July 2024 had been underpaid for 21.5 hours worked and ordered the respondent to pay £258 gross.
The tribunal also upheld the claim that the respondent failed to provide a statement of terms and conditions of employment required by section 1 of the Employment Rights Act 1996. It awarded the claimant £912, described in the judgment as the minimum amount under section 38 of the Employment Act 2002. The claim that the respondent failed to provide an itemised pay statement under section 8 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 was rejected.
On the working time claim, the tribunal found that the respondent did not provide the claimant with the rest breaks required by regulation 12 of the Working Time Regulations 1998 on Tuesday 9 and Wednesday 10 July 2024. No compensation was awarded for that breach. The monetary awards recorded in the judgment therefore total £1,170 before any interest that may be payable under the tribunal’s separate interest notice.

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.
