EMPLOYMENT TRIBUNALS (SCOTLAND) Case No: 4100077/2019 Mr G Walker
Respondent
Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningMr Graeme Walker brought complaints of an unlawful deduction from wages, outstanding holiday pay, and failure to provide written employment particulars. The respondents did not appear at the final hearing. They had emailed shortly beforehand saying they would not attend and disputing that Mr Walker had been their employee, but they did not otherwise engage with the hearing. The tribunal proceeded in their absence after waiting until 10.45 am and heard evidence from the claimant, whom it found to be credible and reliable.
On the wage claim, the tribunal accepted the claimant's evidence and documentary productions and found that the respondents had made an unlawful deduction of one day's wages, assessed at £104. On the holiday pay claim, it found that 8 days' accrued holiday pay remained outstanding and awarded £832.
On the written employment particulars issue, the tribunal accepted the claimant's evidence that the contract produced by the respondents had not been signed by him and had never been received. It found that the respondents had failed to provide a written statement of his terms and conditions of employment and awarded two weeks' pay, amounting to £1,040. The total award was therefore £1,976, with the wage and holiday pay sums ordered subject to the appropriate deductions for Income Tax and National Insurance.

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.
