A JD Wetherspoon employee has been awarded more than £25,000 after he was reprimanded and investigated for using his staff discount to pay for a meal with his family.
Brandon Halstead, a kitchen associate at The Albany Place in Trowbridge, was investigated by his bosses and called to a gross misconduct hearing after he used his staff discount to pay for a meal for seven people, including himself, without realising that the pub chain’s policy only applied to parties of four or less.
