Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal, sitting in Edinburgh before Employment Judge Sangster on 11 March 2025, determined Mr R Connolly's claims against Transparent Windows Limited. It found that the claim under section 23 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 succeeded, and ordered the respondent to pay £2,800 gross for unlawful deductions from wages contrary to section 13 ERA 1996. That sum comprised £520 for a shortfall in wages for hours worked between 26 August and 10 September 2024, with the relevant pay dates being 6, 13 and 20 September 2024, and £2,280 for payment in lieu of holiday entitlement due on termination of employment.
The tribunal also upheld the claimant's complaint of wrongful dismissal and awarded £863.68 net as damages for breach of contract. The judgment does not break that award down further. The respondent was permitted to deduct income tax and employee National Insurance contributions from the gross wage deduction award if required by law, provided the deductions were remitted to HMRC and the claimant was given written evidence.
The claimant's complaint of disability discrimination was dismissed. No separate discrimination award was made. The only monetary awards recorded in the judgment were the £2,800 gross wages award and the £863.68 net wrongful dismissal award, giving a total ordered sum of £3,663.68.

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.
