I don't know about the UK, but in the USA, that's true of a verbal promise
too. It's just a heck of a lot harder to hold someone to it.
And since the state likes to get their income tax, this is exactly the kind
of situation where the employee wins pretty easily. He should at least get
his five days pay, I'd think.

Apparently they're going to pay him for 2 weeks' work (even though he
only actually did one). But still, if I were him, I'd be PISSED!
Or... possibly glad I found out the company was retarded without
actually being stuck there? :-D
