Where employee also includes 1) unpaid training or 2) working for free
prior to employment. Some companies and institutions use such as a
"free prefix" in return for giving them the job.

In such claims there should be an examination of whether the claimant
had acted irresponsibly, and as a result have the claim reduced by
1-99% as a result. This does happen on the larger cases, but smaller
ones are often settled out of court simply in view of the costs.
