Summary:
The jurisprudence is clear that amounts paid as settlement as wages or wages in lieu of notice are earnings but not compensation for some damage or injury, other than failure to give notice, such as damage to reputation or as mental stress. [p. 3-4]
I have no doubt that he suffered the damage to reputation and mental stress but what must be proved is that the amount paid was a compensation for that damage, whereas the settlement refers to 6 months' salary. [p. 4]
