Summary:
We are in full agreement with Umpire. As per Umpire, following the amendment, settlement payments made as the result of the settlement of a wrongful dismissal action, commenced in the courts in the usual way, or negotiated outside a specific court action, will be earnings.
The record does not show that there was evidence on which the Board could have found that the sum received by claimant in settlement of his grievance was compensation for something other than loss of wages.
