Liz Hurley and her husband Arun Nayar have been accused of racial discrimination and breach of contract by their ex-Indian maid, who claims that the couple paid her a shoddy 1.20 pounds an hour. Violet D’Souza, 23, who was brought over to UK from her native India by Nayar, broke her silence after working for the couple at their London home for almost four years before being fired. She planned to take them before a tribunal to claim damages for allegedly breaking a string of employment laws, reports a London newspaper.
D’Souza was prepared to face her former bosses with accusations including unfair dismissal, breach of contract, race discrimination, failing to give her a proper contract of employment and withholding wages. However, she withdrew the case, after being paid a five-figure settlement by the millionaire couple. D’Souza lived and worked for the couple at their posh London home for four years before being suddenly fired. She went to seek help from local Citizens Advice Bureau lawyers following the sacking, and soon filed for an employment tribunal claim. She also filed for minimum wage and earnings owed under UK law, where employees over the age of 22 must be paid at least 5.52 pounds an hour.
