Mayfair Waitresss Wins £3k Compensation
June 17, 2009 by Rob Powell
A waitress has won almost £3,000 in compensation from her Mayfair employer after being asked to wear a dress that made her feel naked.
Fata Lemes, a Bosnian born muslim, told an employment tribunal that she was “not used to wearing sexually attractive clothes” and took exception to a sleeveless dress that was open at the back that she was asked to wear at the Rocket in Lancashire Court.
She had claimed for £20,000 but was awarded only £2,919.95 for loss of earnings and hurt feelings.
