Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe complaint of unfair dismissal was dismissed on withdrawal. The tribunal then upheld two unlawful deduction from wages claims: it found that £3,206.04 was properly payable for hours actually worked, that £1,498.50 had been paid, and ordered payment of the £1,707.54 balance. It also found an unauthorised deduction in respect of SSP entitlement for 8 August 2024 and awarded £23.25.
The tribunal rejected entitlement to pay for weeks in which there was no work and rejected tronc payments. It also found that SSP was not payable for the other days of sickness because the qualifying criteria were not met. In addition, it found that the claimant was dismissed in breach of contract in respect of notice and awarded £2,307.69 in damages, and it found that holiday entitlement had not been paid, awarding £989.01.
The tribunal further recorded that, when proceedings were begun, the respondent was in breach of its duty to provide a written statement of employment particulars. It found no exceptional circumstances making an award of two weeks' gross pay unjust or inequitable, considered it just and equitable to award four weeks' gross pay, and made an award under section 38 of the Employment Act 2002 in the sum of £1,912.08. The total monetary award was £6,939.57.

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.
