An ex-employee claims he was let go from his job because he raised concerns about people being told to work while on furlough.
Cramlington -based Triple Shield Property Maintenance is defending itself against a claim of unfair dismissal brought by David Snowball, who was employed by them as a painter and handyman.
Mr Snowball alleges he was unfairly dismissed after five years at the company for making whistleblowing claims. He alleged that employees were asked to work while claiming cash from the government's furlough scheme and promised they would be paid when the scheme ended.
