According to the newspaper "Metro", a British consultant should receive compensation after her initial three-day stint was reduced. The employment tribunal is considering a complaint by former manager Nadine Hanson at Interaction Recruitment Ltd, who allegedly ignored her requests for three times when she came to work.
According to the newspaper, the trainee, 62-year-old Andrew Jilkrist, was irritated by Hanson when he thought she was late for work, not knowing she had a meeting with a doctor. Later, the manager allegedly gave two colleagues a raise without warning her, only mentioning it once after their meeting in their office in Scunthorpe.
This prompted the employee to file a lawsuit against the trainee she had beaten when Judge Sara Davis recognized the trainee's behavior as "unreasonable", suggesting that it "likely undermined trust". The judge dismissed Jilkrist's assertion in court that "he couldn't recall whether he greeted her, since he was too busy but believes he said 'hello everyone'.
Judge Davis stated: "I conclude that there was no reasonable or justified reason to ignore her when she came to work, regardless of the fact that she greeted him on her three occasions".
According to the newspaper, Hanson, in the end, was dismissed, suffered from stress due to how she was treated by her trainee, and argued a claim of unlawful deduction of wages when Jilkrist canceled her bonus because he thought she was pretending to be ill. Hanson will receive compensation from the company, which has 30 offices across all of the United Kingdom. The amount of compensation will be determined later.
