LONDON -- Kirankumar Rathod arrived in the U.K. from India with his family in May last year after forking out 22,000 pounds ($29,213) to an immigration agent, expecting to start work as a health care assistant. Instead his life was thrown into chaos when the company that had sponsored his visa failed to give him any work and then fired him.
He filed a complaint to the labor tribunal and an employment judge ruled on Sept. 9 that Clinica Private Healthcare -- a London clinic with just nine employees -- must pay Rathod the salary he was promised until the case is settled in full.
