2. The respondent entered a response form on 26 August 2011 indicating that it did not intend to resist the claimant’s claims.
3. The tribunal considered the oral evidence of the claimant together with the claim and response forms and the documentation produced by the claimant at hearing and reached the following decision on a balance of probabilities.

6. The claimant’s gross earnings at the EDT were £365 per month and his net earnings per month were £289.
