EMPLOYMENT TRIBUNALS

Claimant: [redacted]

Respondent: [redacted]

1. The claim was presented in the Manchester Employment Tribunal on 23rd July 2025. The respondent has failed to present a valid response on time. The Employment Judge has decided that a determination can properly be made of the claim, or part of it, in accordance with rule 22 of the Rules of Procedure.

Wages

2. The complaint of unauthorised deductions from wages is well-founded. The respondent made an unauthorised deduction from the claimant's wages in the period 1st April 2025 to 30th April 2025.

3. The respondent shall pay the claimant £1,624.15 (one month’s pay) which is the net sum deducted.

Notice Pay

4. The complaint of breach of contract in relation to notice pay is well-founded.

5. The respondent shall pay the claimant £2,288.02 (£326.86 gross per week multiplied by 7 weeks) as damages for breach of contract. This figure has been calculated using gross pay to reflect the likelihood that the claimant will have to pay tax on it as Post Employment Notice Pay.

Holiday Pay

6. The complaint in respect of holiday pay is well-founded. The respondent made an unauthorised deduction from the claimant's wages by failing to pay the claimant for holidays accrued but not taken on the date the claimant’s employment ended.

Case Number: 6027442/2025
