P68 When Ignorance About Mental Health Costs An Employer £2.5Million Pounds in Compensation Show Notes 20.05.2021
Hi there
We hope you are managing to keep your head up at work, as more and more people return to the workplace.
This week we look at one of the largest ever employment tribunal discrimination payouts, which was awarded against a company called Kellog, Brown & Root, for dismissing a senior employee who had mental health problems. In this episode, we look at the conduct issues the employer put forward for the decision to dismiss the employee; and, we also look at the mental health issues put forward by the employee, as evidence that the employer had selected him for dismissal due to matters related to his behaviour, which were completely linked to his disability.
Remember that you can access the grievance support documents from the links in the show notes below, if you need to make a complaint at work. And finally, if you like what we are doing, remember to like, share and subscribe to our podcast and please leave us a review on iTunes. We would really appreciate this.
Until next week
Thanks for listening
And have a great week
