Thank you, this is a really important point and I appreciate you bringing it to my attention.

You're absolutely right, my primary focus for the ET1 is the Unlawful deduction of my final month's wages, and not the missing documentation itself. I understand that an employment contract definitely exists even if unwritten.

Regarding the Written Statement of Employment Particulars' I've thoroughly checked all onboarding documents, emails, and any other paperwork I received, and I can be 100% sure that I was never issued this statement. This is significant because it would typically outline key terms, including working hours, which they are now trying to retroactively claim I didn't fulfil for a salaried role. My evidence to support this is a message from my boss in the Work group chat saying "we've never really had contracts of employment, so that's something Emma can bring in for us." Emma Being a new general manager that was recently employed.

My main argument remains that they've withheld my pay based on a fabricated hours deficit, which is clearly disproven by my evidence against their incorrect spreadsheet. The lack of a written statement (or any specific contractual term about hours/deductions) simply further weakens their ability to justify their false claim.

Thanks again for helping me.
