E.T. Z (WR) EMPLOYMENT TRIBUNALS (SCOTLAND) Case No: 4105401/2022 (V)5 Held at Aberdeen on December 2022 Employment Judge N M Hosie Miss C Turnbull
Respondent
Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningMiss C Turnbull brought claims after her summary dismissal from Handmade Burger Company Ltd on 26 July 2022. The tribunal heard evidence from the claimant, found her credible and reliable, and accepted her documentary productions. It also corrected the respondent's name from Aspirational Brands Ltd to Handmade Burger Company Ltd because that was the employing entity.
The tribunal found that the claimant was employed from 1 April 2022 to 26 July 2022. The respondent's letter of 5 July 2022 recorded sums due for notice pay and accrued holiday pay. The respondent did not dispute the sums claimed.
On wages, the claimant had worked a 9-hour shift on 26 July 2022 at £10.50 per hour but was not paid £94.50. Deductions described as pension contributions were made from wages for May (£27.61), June (£62.15) and July (£104.35), totalling £194.11, but were not paid to the pension provider. The tribunal held that these matters amounted to an unlawful deduction from wages of £288.61 under s.23 of the Employment Rights Act.
The tribunal also awarded £320.65 as damages for breach of contract for failure to give notice of termination, and £478.32 as payment in lieu of accrued holiday pay. The total monetary award was £1,087.58.

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.
