Claimant v Complete Review Ltd
Outcome
Individual claims
The tribunal found the respondent failed to present a valid response on time. The respondent made unauthorised deductions from wages totalling £4,002.51, comprising unpaid wages for December 2023 to January 2024 (£2,083.33) and underpayment of wages from June 2023 to December 2023 (£1,919.18).
The claimant was dismissed by reason of redundancy. The tribunal calculated the statutory redundancy payment as £961.54 based on 2 years of service at ages 22-41, applying the weekly pay of £480.77.
The respondent failed to pay accrued but untaken leave entitlement on termination of employment. The tribunal awarded £192.30 for the unpaid holiday pay.
Facts

Interest at 8% per annum applies from 9 January 2026 if not paid within 14 days.
