According to reports, the court has ordered Chetu to pay a substantial sum in damages to its former employee. This includes compensation of €50,000 (approximately $48,000), approximately €2,700 (approximately $2,600) in unpaid salary, and more than €8,000 (approximately $7,750) for wrongful termination. The company must also compensate the employee for unused vacation days.
As reports point out, firing an employee for not turning on their webcam may be more acceptable in an “at-will” state like Florida, but employees under the jurisdiction of the ECHR appear to have a lot more protections.
