EAT NATIONAL MINIMUM WAGE
Inferring discrimination
Injury to feelings
A employed R as night manager at his hotel. R was a Nigerian but had permission to work in the UK. A paid R less than the minimum wage on the basis that he was vulnerable. When R sought to obtain a NI number A first tried to discourage him and then dismissed him. Was the ET entitled to find race discrimination and (if so) was it entitled to make the awards it did?
