Cleaner at the Houses of Parliament was sacked after it was revealed she had secretly worked 17-hour days at two jobs for 16 years
A cleaner in the parliament houses was dismissed after two days of secretly working on two days for 16 years.
Mulikat Ogumodede worked on Dautsche Bank’s daily shifts and night shifts in Westminster five days a week between 2008-2024.
The mother was accused of ‘deliberate’ failing to find out that she worked from 8 am to 8 am before completing their shifts in parliament houses at 22:00 – 06:00.
When the details of the working day emerged, Mrs. Ogumode was made unnecessary from Parliament because it was violating the laws around the limits of working time.
The ‘award’ filed a lawsuit against the cleaner employers for the dismissal, but since then, a judge rejected all his claims and said that the removal of the position was ‘clearly fair’.
Employment judge Richard Woodhead, the cleaning of these hours to maintain these hours for such a long time ‘remarkable’ he said.
The cleaner said he felt ‘very good’ and ‘he could rest properly’ on weekends.
Mrs. Ogumodede worked as a cleaner in Deutsche Bank’s offices for Churchill contracting services and cleaned it since 2004.
Mulikat was dismissed after his emergence in ogumod.
In May last year, Churchill contract Services took over the cleaning services from a different company at the Parliament Houses.
Only then at that time, employers learned that they were running both roles.
The previous contractor in the Parliament Houses has run Mrs. Ogumodede since 2008.
Judge Woodhead said: ‘[Ms Ogumodede] Therefore, long hours for two separate employers have worked for two separate employers for a while: 08:00 – 17:00 on Deutsche Bank and then at 10: 00-16: 00 in parliament houses.
“ It is noteworthy that it can maintain it in cases where there is no discussion. [Ms Ogumodede] There was a clean participation and discipline record about parliament houses. ‘
When the panel seized Parliament’s homes, Mrs. Ogumodede said that she had intentionally hiding her other full -time work on Deutsche Bank.
They said that this was ‘not surprisingly, violating the long -standing law during the working time’.
In July last year, they invited him to a meeting and said that the working model had violated politics, which required a 11 -hour rest break between shifts.
They were worried that they worked 17 hours in a 24 -hour period, just two -hour roles in the evening and breaks between two hours in the morning.
If the staff are not listened enough, they said that they could cause negative effects on their physical and mental health, ‘errors or accidents’ and ‘reputation damage to the organization or financial cost’.

Mrs. Ogumodede, both positions can not continue to work ‘and the payment of the parliamentary agreement was suspended.
The cleaner in the answer said he felt ‘very good’ and ‘it has been working like this since 2008’.
He said to the managers: ‘I am resting properly on my weekend, I do not clean or do not eat, I rest for a long time.’
His contract with parliamentary assemblies was terminated last October.
Mrs. Ogumodede took the Churchill contract to a labor court and claimed that unjust dismissal, surplus wages, illegal deduction from wages, and incorrect dismissal.
He claimed that he had to be unnecessary, had the right to notice and made unauthorized deductions from his wage during the suspension of his employers.
His bosses claimed that the dismissal of Mrs. Ogumodede was fair, because ‘he could not continue to work in a position (employer’s employer’s or that employer) imposed on a task or restriction imposed by a law’.
Judge Woodhead rejected all his claims.
Behind the restrictions in the working time, ‘strong health, security and public interest issues’ he said.
“The health and safety concerns to be discussed are not only the person who does night work. They have a wider society, ” he added.
‘In particular, fatigue associated with night work increases the risk of making mistakes in a wider world, not only in the workplace (which may affect colleagues).
‘Negative health effects in night work of extreme hours also have a potential cost for the society.
‘ [Ms Ogumodede] I think it is not possible to offer night work in parliament houses due to the restrictions given in the balance of possibilities.
‘Therefore, if it was clear that Parliament would be presented to the duty of Parliament’s homes and would not have the right to be dismissed in the employment with Deutsche Bank.’
