Mr Teliga claimed to have been working for the company for five years, but his employers claim he was just a casual worker who came in when required and was paid accordingly.
But Mr Teliga said the firm had provided him with a letter in 2008 stating that he had then been employed for two years and was registered under the Accession State Worker Registration Scheme.
