This case had involved an employee's request for sick pay and their employer's refusal of their request to return to work. Key issues included whether the employee who had returned to their home country for treatment had provided the required medical certification to claim sick pay. Also considered was whether they were due salary after they had messaged on whatsapp and by phone about returning to work but arrangements had not been made. Other issues included holiday pay due and if the employee should be compensated for having had to share accommodation when he had been promised an apartment in the employment contract.
