Ley Tsang, a London nanny, won a tribunal case for unpaid wages after she quit her job just three hours into an induction session. The tribunal ruled that this session, which involved getting to know the parents and their daughter, constituted work despite Ms. Tsang not having performed any actual childcare. The case highlights the blurred lines in employment agreements and the rights of workers even when they do not fulfill traditional job duties. Tsang's claim has implications for future similar disputes regarding compensation for preparatory or introduce roles.
