Employee missed emails claiming he had failed to send in sick notes
Sales operations director for Lidl, Darren Devine, the only witness to appear for the company, said there had been “no response” from Mr Goljanak in May 2021 to inquiries from the company’s former sales operations manager, Paul Dixon about his absence.
However, after Mr Devine said in evidence he “could not recall” whether hard-copy letters had gone out to Mr Goljanak, the company admitted in a legal submission that there was “no log of telephone calls or letters” – stating that it had “adapted” its communication procedures during the Covid-19 pandemic to send such notices by email after having them read aloud to the recipient at work.
However, she told the WRC that when she got the first one, she was instructed by the district sales operations manager, Paul Dixon, “not to send them to HR”.Scott Jevons, a Lidl employee relations manager, said in a legal submission the company had made “exhaustive efforts” to engage with Mr Goljanak – accusing him of a “blatant disregard” for the supermarket’s policies which had led to an “irreparable breach in trust and confidence”.
