Dismissal Case a Load of Old Sausages!!
An employee of Argyll and Clyde Health Board was sacked from his job as health board manager because another employee accused him of taking sausages and rolls without paying for them. The accuser was herself sacked from her job as catering assistant for stealing food. Mr Johnson went to the tribunal claiming he had never stolen food, and had 22 years of loyal service within the company.
The tribunal found that Argyll and Clyde Health Board had not investigated properly, and had then terminated Mr Johnson’s contract on the word of another sacked employee. The tribunal considered this unfair dismissal, awarded Mr Johnson £12,000 compensation and ordered Argyll and Clyde Health Board to re-instate Mr Johnson.
