Indian man awarded almost £30,000 after UK employer failed to provide work

Tribunal orders company to pay Shabin Shaji for care work he was not given after coming to UK, in landmark case

An Indian citizen who came to the UK to work as a care worker through the post-Brexit visa scheme has been awarded nearly £30,000 in a landmark case, because his employer failed to give him a single day of work for a year.

An employment tribunal ordered the care company Swan Care Solutions Ltd to pay Shabin Shaji wages for the work he was “ready, able and willing to do”.
