EMPLOYMENT TRIBUNALS (SCOTLAND) Case No: 4100007/2019 Employment Judge: W A Meiklejohn Mr G Gill
Respondent
Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningNo response was presented to the claim, so the Employment Judge issued judgment under Rule 21 of the Employment Tribunal Rules of Procedure 2013 on the available material. The claimant’s unfair dismissal claim failed because he did not have qualifying service, and that claim was dismissed.
The claimant succeeded on the claims for unlawful deduction of wages, breach of contract in respect of notice pay, and holiday pay. The respondent was ordered to pay £3,884.46 for unlawful deduction of wages, £846.15 for breach of contract, and £1,438.46 for holiday pay, with those sums to be paid under deduction of income tax and National Insurance contributions at the applicable rates. The tribunal also ordered payment of £3,384.60 under section 38 of the Employment Act 2002.

How we got this data
Case essentials (reference, date, judge, venue, country, claim categories) are extracted from the structured metadata gov.uk publishes alongside each decision. Parties and monetary figures are extracted from the judgment PDF text. Key findings and per-claim outcomes require a second extraction pass that is not yet complete for this case — until then, the primary source linked above is the authoritative record.
