A HIGH COURT judge has given the green light to a retired city assessor to challenge the San Fernando City Corporation’s failure to calculate her pension and gratuity owed to her.

Heidi Henry sued the San Fernando City Corporation for failing to calculate her pension and gratuity based on her correct salary following a 2020 decision of the High Court, which held she was entitled to be treated equally to her comparator at the Port of Spain City Corporation and receive pension and gratuity at salary range 59D.

She was granted leave by Justice Frank Seepersad to pursue her claim against the corporation, which includes an order compelling the local government body to recalculate and pay her her correct salary and pension.
