A stressed out ambulance assistant was forced to take his bosses to court in a row over an unpaid £15 meal allowance
A stressed out ambulance assistant was forced to take his bosses to court in a row over an unpaid £15 meal allowance.
“I worked through Covid and you would think that after putting ourselves at risk in the face of the virus, our expenses that we are entitled to would have been paid within reasonable time. It doesn’t make sense, they’ll appoint a solicitor that will cost thousands of pounds over a £15 lunch. I was off work for six months sick from the stress of it.”
The row began when his claim for three lunches was disputed last year and he was told there were new terms and conditions in place, including specifying where a meal has been bought. He tried to settle the matter with bosses but says he was forced to take drastic action when they refused to pay out. “So for the past nine months it has been in and out of the sheriff court.” A sheriff suggested the case go to mediation and Gerald had discussions with the SAS’s litigation team before an agreement was reached.
