Puthenveettil v Alexander and Others: EAT 31 Jan 2018

NATIONAL MINIMUM WAGE
The Employment Tribunal did not address the Appellant’s compatibility challenge in relation to Regulation 2(2) NMWR 1999 and refused reconsideration of this issue. That was an error of law. The compatibility issue is remitted for consideration, preferably, by a Regional Employment Judge.
The Employment Tribunal would need to reconsider the question of the number of hours of housework performed by the Appellant and whether that was voluntary or contractual as a matter of custom and practice or otherwise.
The perversity ground failed.
