Wetherspoons Ordered to Pay Autistic Worker £25,412
Pub chain Wetherspoons has been ordered to pay an autistic worker £25,412 after he unknowingly used his staff discount incorrectly.
Brandon Halstead, a kitchen porter at The Albany Palace pub in Trowbridge, Wiltshire, used his discount code for a meal for seven people, including himself, at another Wetherspoons in August 2023.
The 20% discount took £19.17 off the total bill, but following this, he was accused of dishonesty and abusing the employee discount policy.
Halstead was called to a disciplinary hearing for gross misconduct, during which he admitted he used his employee discount for himself and more than three other people, unaware it is only applicable to groups of four or less.
