Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThis was a Rule 22 judgment of the Employment Tribunal for Scotland in which no response had been presented to the claim. On the available material, Employment Judge J Hendry determined the case without a hearing and made awards in respect of two matters only.
First, the tribunal found that Flintlock Holdings 2.0 Ltd had made an unauthorised deduction from wages contrary to section 13 of the Employment Rights Act 1996. It ordered payment to Mr J Watt of £405.28 gross, calculated in the judgment as 275 hours at £12.21 per hour multiplied by 12.07%.
Second, the tribunal found that the respondent had failed to comply with its duty to provide a statement of initial employment particulars and written pay statement. It ordered payment of £265.38 gross under section 38 of the Employment Act 2002, describing this as one week's pay and noting that it had no information before it suggesting it would be just and equitable to award the higher amount provided for by that section.
The judgment also directed that the respondent may deduct income tax and employee National Insurance Contributions, if required by law, and remit those sums to HMRC before paying the balance to the claimant. The total gross amount ordered was £670.66.

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.
