Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claim was presented in the Manchester Employment Tribunal on 16 July 2025. The respondent failed to present a valid response on time, and Employment Judge Phil Allen determined under rule 22 of the Rules of Procedure that a determination could properly be made of the claim.
The tribunal found the complaint of unauthorised deductions from the claimant's wages to be well-founded. The respondent was ordered to pay the claimant £2,701.63 gross, calculated as £3,201.63 less £500. The judgment records that the claimant will be responsible for any tax liabilities arising out of the gross award if the gross figure is received without tax deducted at source.
The accompanying notice under Article 12 of the Employment Tribunals (Interest) Order 1990 sets the relevant decision day as 9 March 2026, the calculation day as 10 March 2026, and the stipulated rate of interest at 8% per annum.

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.
