💨 Abstract

Alda Simoes, a luxury sales assistant at Harrods, was dismissed after complaining about working 14 consecutive days. Despite winning £16,717.54 in compensation, she still hasn't received the money and lost her home while awaiting payment. Hired by De Sedes in 2018, Simoes was overworked and eventually fired without explanation. The compensation covers her lost earnings, but the financial and emotional toll has been severe.
