Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningMs Anne-Sophie Mpara brought complaints against Shirewood Technologies Limited for unauthorised deductions from pay, breach of contract in relation to notice pay, and holiday pay. The respondent did not attend the hearing, which was conducted at Manchester by CVP on 26 January 2026 before Employment Judge Miller-Varey.
The tribunal upheld the complaint of unauthorised deductions from pay under Part II of the Employment Rights Act 1996. It found that the respondent had made a series of unauthorised deductions from the claimant's pay between 1 April 2025 and 31 May 2025 and ordered repayment of the gross sum of £6,666.66.
The tribunal also upheld the breach of contract complaint concerning notice pay. It ordered the respondent to pay £3,333.33 as damages for breach of contract, stating that the figure was calculated using gross pay to reflect the likelihood that the claimant would be taxed on it as Post Employment Notice Pay. The holiday pay complaint was likewise upheld, with the tribunal finding that holiday pay had not been paid and ordering payment of £455.83 gross.

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.
