An employee was dismissed for gross negligence after not making 'a full and frank disclosure' when queried about claiming expenses for two pasta dishes.
A man who claimed two sandwiches in lunch expenses has lost his unfair dismissal claim against his former employer, Citibank. An employment judge ruled the bank was entitled to fire Szabolcs Fekete for gross misconduct after he lied in an expenses claim. Mr Fekete, who worked in financial crime at Citibank, had claimed he alone ate two sandwiches for lunch, drank two coffees and ate two pasta dishes on a July work trip to Amsterdam. In truth some of the meals had been shared by his partner.
