The court did not hear details of the agreement reached.In a sworn statement put before the court last week, Mr Nowak claimed he was informed last month in a video call with a HR manager and a legal adviser about a series of allegations made against him by more than one employee.
He denied the allegations, which included commenting on female employees’ appearances, asking female colleagues to stay on for drinks and requesting inappropriate images from female staff and/or sending them. He also denied any sexual context to conversations he had had with female employees. He had claimed he was advised that, given there was more than one complaint, the company would not give credibility to any response from him and, therefore, there was no merit in hearing from him. He said he requested time to consider the matters during the video call but he was allegedly told he must decide during that call if he would resign.
He alleged the company breached its own terms and conditions and, in particular, has failed to comply with its own disciplinary procedure. Further, he claims the company failed to carry out any or any proper investigation.Topics:
