EMPLOYMENT TRIBUNALS (SCOTLAND) Case No: 4107158/2023 M r C Tait
Respondent
Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claimant's reconsideration was granted and the earlier judgment dated 24 January 2024 was varied. No response had been presented to the claim, and an Employment Judge issued judgment on the available material under rule 21.
The tribunal found that the respondent had unlawfully withheld wages and ordered payment of the gross sum of £3,382.87, calculated by reference to an annual salary of £33,000 for one month and seven days. It also found that the respondent had failed to pay the claimant's holiday entitlement and ordered payment of £542.46, calculated by reference to the same annual salary for six days.
The judgment permitted the respondent to deduct any required Income Tax and employee National Insurance contributions before payment, provided those deductions were remitted to HMRC and written evidence was supplied to the claimant. The scheduled hearing on 9 February 2024 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.
