Taylor Davies v Creative Hospitality Payroll Ltd [2019]

The claimant was employed in the respondent’s nightclubs initially as a bartender before being promoted to an assistant manager.  The issue arose from the use of social media whereby there was a ‘Facebook Messenger’ chat with the employees and ex-employees of one of the nightclubs run by the respondents.  

The first that this came to light in an investigatory sense was an all staff meeting where the claimant and three other managers were removed from this meeting in front of all other staff to have a separate meeting with the HR Officer and the CEO of the respondent.   There was no prior notice of this investigation and no notes were taken from the investigation
