ZERO CONTRACT HOURS - RIGHT TO AVERAGE PAY WHILST SUSPENDED

Hi! It’s Deborah and Euzi!  The Employment Appeal Tribunal (the EAT) ruled on an appeal
concerning an employer's obligation to pay an employee, who worked under a zero
hours' contract,  during a disciplinary suspension, when, unknown to the employer,
the employee had obtained other work. The EAT, in dismissing the employer's appeal
against the employment tribunal's decision upholding the employee's claim of
una Hi uthorised deductions from wages, held that the employee had been entitled to
accept other employment, that she had been under no obligation to notify the employer
of that fact, and that, where the employer could not point to any conduct on the part of
the employee that would have entitled it to summarily dismiss her, the employee was
entitled to be paid for the period of the disciplinary suspension.
