EMPLOYMENT TRIBUNALS (SCOTLAND) Case No: 4103816/2023 Mr R Beech
Respondent
Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThis was a Rule 21 judgment issued because no response had been presented to the claim. On the available material, the Employment Judge held that the respondent had made an unauthorised deduction from the claimant’s wages for 1 May to 5 May 2023 and ordered payment of £538.46 gross.
The tribunal also found that the respondent had failed to pay the claimant’s accrued holiday entitlement of 2.2 weeks. Using £538.46 as the weekly figure, it ordered payment of £1,184.61. In addition, the tribunal held that the claimant was dismissed in breach of contract in respect of notice and awarded £1,921.90 net, described as four weeks’ notice pay for the period 2 May to 3 June 2023.
The claimant’s separate request for payment of pension contributions was not determined on the merits. The tribunal said that this was not a claim the Employment Tribunal may determine and that it was a matter for the Pension Regulator. The judgment was dated 28 September 2023 and entered in the register on 2 October 2023.

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.
