An Indian man who moved to the United Kingdom under the skilled worker visa scheme has been awarded nearly £30,000 by an employment tribunal after his employer failed to provide him any work for around a year, despite issuing him sponsorship to take up a care job.
According to The Guardian, the tribunal directed care company Swan Care Solutions Ltd to pay Shabin Shaji wages for work he was “ready, able and willing to do”, along with holiday pay and other remedies for breaches including failure to provide a written contract and non-compliance with grievance procedures.
