Miss L Pinkney took Amico Cafe on Corporation Street to tribunal earlier this year for unpaid wages, a breach of contract and unfair dismissal.
Manchester Employment Tribunal heard the case on February 12, awarding the former cafe worker a total of £4882.05.
The judgement was published last month.
The case was dealt with under Rule 22 of the Employment Tribunals Rules of Procedure 2024.
This happens when the tribunal has not received a response by the time specified, where any response received has been rejected, or the respondent has stated that no part of the claim is contested.
Employment Judge M Butler awarded Miss Pinkney separate monies for each of the offences committed by the cafe.
His ruling reads: “The complaint of unauthorised deductions from wages is well-founded. The respondent shall pay the claimant £473 which is the gross sum deducted.
“The complaint of breach of contract in relation to notice pay is well-founded. The respondent is ordered to pay the claimant the sum of £627.68 as damages for breach of contract.
“This figure has been calculated using gross pay to reflect the possibility that the claimant will have to pay tax on it as Post Employment Notice Pay.”

He adds that a complaint of unfair dismissal is “well-founded”.
Judge Butler said: “The respondent unreasonably failed to comply with the ACAS Code of Practice on Disciplinary and Grievance Procedures 2015 and it is just and equitable to increase the compensatory award payable to the claimant by 10 per cent (as per the claimant’s schedule of loss) in accordance with s207A Trade Union & Labour Relations (Consolidation) Act 1992.
“The respondent shall pay the claimant the following sums in relation to the claim of unfair dismissal: a basic award of £313.84 (and) a compensatory award of £2,683.21 (comprising £2,439.28 for loss of earnings and a 10% ACAS uplift of £243.93).”
He also said a complaint relating to holiday pay was well-founded.
Judge Butler said: “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.
“The respondent shall pay the claimant £156.64.
“When the proceedings were begun the respondent was in breach in its duty to provide the claimant with a written statement of employment particulars.
“There are no exceptional circumstances that make an award of an amount equal to two weeks’ gross pay unjust or inequitable. In accordance with section 38 Employment Act 2002 the respondent shall therefore pay the claimant £627.68.”
A further hearing on June 23 and 24 was cancelled.
Amico were approached for comment.
This comes after the cafe was taken to tribunal by another former worker, K Azad, late last year.
Mr Azad was awarded £2397.82 in total for unpaid wages and holiday pay.
He described it as a “relief” when the court ruled in his favour.
