The Labour Court upheld Angela Phillips’s appeal and increased her minimum-wage award from £240 to £520 in wages, with £40 in expenses. The determination was signed on 6 December 2001. Phillips, a receptionist and administrator at Vintage Foods, claimed she had been underpaid for 20 weeks in 2000. The Rights Commissioner had found her complaint well founded and awarded £240 in wages and £40 in expenses. Phillips appealed over the calculation, and the Court amended the award after reviewing her salary slips. The employer did not attend the appeal hearing.
