But was the company hiding behind the agency, its the company that are paying the £17k compensation. I understood the company cancelled the contract with the agency when they found out about the wages paid to the employee. How can the company be made to look the villain in this case?
I think the real shame and crime here, is a foreign worker travels to another country to take a job and ends up getting a £17K payout within a very short period of time. I think its certainly a kick in the teeth for the local workers who have been treated unfairly in similar circumstances and not received any compensation.
I guess she can thank the media attention for her payout, the same media/newspapers that the Liberals say only report what they want.
Still £17K is a fortune in the Phillipines, she will now be set up for the rest of her life and will no doubt go back home with her ill gotten gains.
