Toni and Guy hairdresser who was offered £10,000 by her boss to sleep with him wins £20,000 compensation A trainee hairdresser whose boss offered her £10,000 to sleep with him has won £20,500 compensation. Maryam Mashayekhi, who worked at Toni and Guy salon in Sheffield city centre, claimed she suffered sexual and racial harassment at the hands of married manager Christopher Story for six months in 2010. An employment tribunal found Mr Story, 39, guilty of inappropriate conduct leaving Mrs Mashayekhi, 34, humiliated and her confidence shattered. Maryam Mashayekhi, pictured left, has won £20,500 compensation after her boss Christopher Story, pictured right, offered her £10,000 to sleep with him Mr Story, a father of two, subjected her to sexual harassment and racial discrimination, made her an 'indecent proposal' of £10,000 for sex, and made racial comments before dismissing her. Iranian-born Mrs Mashayekhi also alleged that Mr Story handed her cash and pushed her head to his groin as they sat in a car outside a client's home. She told the panel at an earlier hearing in Sheffield that he said to her: 'How much money do you want to have sex? Are you having sex for £1,000, what about £2,000 or £10,000? Mrs Mashayekhi responded: 'No, not even for £20,000. I love my husband. She said: 'Mr Story got hold of some money, gave me the money as if he was paying me, got hold of the back of my head and pushed it down towards his groin. I was horrified by this and immediately pulled away. He said he was having a joke and giving the lady something to look at. I was livid. Mrs Mashayekhi, 34, worked as a trainee hairdresser at this Toni & Guy salon in Sheffield city centre Weeks into the job, Mr Story asked about Mrs Mashayekhi sexual preferences in front of colleagues, she claimed. "I was shocked," Mrs Mashayekhi, who came to Britain in 2005, said. I don't know the culture but in my culture you are not talking to people like that. She said Mr Storey asked her in front of other staff: 'You are Iranian, do you do it doggy style as well?' The tribunal heard Mrs Mashayekhi started work as a salon assistant in May 2010. She was dubbed 'slave' by the other staff for working long hours on low pay as she tried to get her qualifications. She alleges that her boss called her 'stupid' daily and she lost her self-confidence. Mrs Mashayekhi told him she claimed benefits to make ends meet because her wages were so low. She claimed he replied: 'You're just like these Asians that come over here to claim benefits. You're a scrounger like the rest of them.' Mrs Mashayekhi, pictured with her husband Manouchehr Royan, alleged that Mr Story pushed her head to his groin as they sat in a car outside a client's home The trainee hairdresser was signed off unfit with severe depression in November 2010 and never returned to work at Toni & Guy. Mr Story denied the sex for cash claim and the other allegations. He told the Sheffield tribunal Mrs Mashayekhi never worked excessive hours and nobody referred to her as a slave. He claimed the sex allegation was 'wildly inaccurate and extremely offensive'. Mr Story said he did not offer to pay her in return for sex, nor did he push her head towards his groin. He insisted he had a good working relationship with Mrs Mashayekhi. The panel found George Plus One, a franchise of Toni and Guy, constructively and unfairly dismissed Mrs Mashayeki. She has already been awarded £1,057 by the tribunal for a shortfall in holiday pay and wages.
