There should be fines for them not bothering to turn up too
Fair play to her.
It may be a small sum of money, but it’s a huge principle, one that Temple Bar Shops Ltd didn’t follow.
Trial shifts or not, pay your workers you fucking pricks.
There should be punitive damages in cases of willful wage theft. If the only punishment for the employer is having to pay the actual wages owed, then there’s no incentive not to keep screwing over their employees in the future, since some won’t know their rights or won’t bother filing a complaint and actually pursuing it. If they had to pay a fine that’s an order of magnitude larger than the amount of wages owed, now suddenly it’s a much riskier gamble.
