E.T. Z (WR) EMPLOYMENT TRIBUNALS (SCOTLAND) Case No: 4105510/2022 (V)5 Held at Aberdeen on December 2022 Employment Judge N M Hosie Miss L Muir
Respondent
Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claimant was employed by the respondent from 10 June 2022 until her summary dismissal on 26 July 2022. The tribunal also changed the respondent name from Aspirational Brands Ltd to Handmade Burger Company Ltd, after both sides agreed that Handmade Burger Company Ltd was the employing entity. The tribunal accepted the evidence and documentary material, including the respondent's letter of 5 July 2022 setting out sums due for notice pay and accrued holiday pay.
The respondent, through its representative, confirmed that the sums claimed were not disputed. The tribunal found that the claimant had worked a 4-hour shift on 26 July 2022 at £10.50 per hour and had not been paid £42 for that work, so there was an unlawful deduction from wages under section 23 of the Employment Rights Act. It also found that £83.03 was due as notice pay following termination, but remained unpaid.
The tribunal further found that £59.03 was due as accrued holiday pay, described in the judgment as payment in lieu of annual leave, and that this sum also had not been paid. Judgment was therefore entered for the claimant in the three monetary amounts identified in the judgment, making a total award of £184.06.

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.
