Indian Worker Wins Tribunal Against UK Employer

An Indian citizen, Shabin Shaji>>>, who came to the United Kingdom>>> on a post-Brexit skilled worker visa to work for Swan Care Solutions>>>, was awarded nearly £30,000 by an employment tribunal. Swan Care Solutions>>> failed to provide him with any work for a year, despite sponsoring his visa, leading to his destitution and eventual return to India>>> due to ill health. The tribunal, presided over by Judge Kate Edmonds>>>, found that Swan Care Solutions>>> treated Shabin Shaji>>> as a zero-hours worker and made unauthorized deductions from his wages. The company's license to issue certificates of sponsorship was subsequently revoked by the United Kingdom — Home Office>>>. The Work Rights Centre>>> supported Shabin Shaji>>> in his case and is advocating for reforms to the skilled worker visa scheme.
