Key findings

Tribunal's reasoning

The tribunal found the claimant's complaint of unauthorised deductions from wages to be well-founded. The respondent had failed to pay the claimant for the entire period from 13 May 2024 to 28 October 2024, a span of 24 weeks.

Applying a gross weekly pay of £903.84, the tribunal calculated the total unpaid wages at £21,692.16 gross and ordered the respondent to pay that sum to the claimant, with the claimant responsible for any tax or National Insurance. The hearing previously listed for 17 April 2025 was cancelled, and the standard notice on interest under the Employment Tribunals (Interest) Order 1990 was attached.

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.
