Case Summary
The claimant brought claims for unlawful wage deductions, wrongful dismissal, and holiday pay entitlement against Adura Marketing Limited. The respondent failed to present a valid response on time, and the tribunal made determinations under rule 22 of the Rules of Procedure. The claimant was awarded £4,186.32 in total for unauthorised deductions, wrongful dismissal damages, and unpaid holiday, while the unfair dismissal complaint was dismissed due to lack of qualifying continuous employment.
Why this outcome?
