EMPLOYMENT TRIBUNALS (SCOTLAND) Case Number: 4104163/2023 Ms E Rygas
Respondent
Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningNo response was presented to the claim, so the Employment Judge issued judgment on the available material under Rule 21 of the Employment Tribunal Rules of Procedure 2013. The tribunal found that Healthy Nibbles Limited had made an unauthorised deduction from the claimant's wages and ordered payment of the gross sum of £5,232. That sum comprised three monthly deductions of £1,744 each, for March 2023, April 2023 and May 2023.
The tribunal also recorded that the holiday pay complaint had been withdrawn by the claimant and dismissed under Rule 52 of the Employment Tribunal Rules of Procedure 2013. The judgment allowed the respondent to make lawful deductions for Income Tax and Employee National Insurance Contributions, if required, before paying the balance to the claimant. The hearing listed for 12 October 2023 was cancelled.

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.
