Overt recordings
by Philip
We are quite often asked by employers whether employees should be allowed to tape disciplinary hearings. We take a relaxed view as having a tape whirring will ensure that proceedings run to procedure. In this particular case an employee asked to video tape his disciplinary meeting. The employer agreed. At the subsequent tribunal hearing the employee put to one of the Company’s witnesses that his recollection of the disciplinary hearing was not accurate. The employee disclosed to the Tribunal he had made a videotape of the meeting in question and had the tape. The Tribunal ordered that he should produce the tape at the hearing the following day. When the employee failed to produce the tape, his case was struck out. Whoops, massive own goal!
