London CNN —Citibank has won an employment tribunal case brought by an analyst it sacked for claiming expenses for meals he shared with his partner, and then lying about it.
I accept that the respondent requires a commitment to honesty from its employees,” employment judge Illing said in the ruling.
According to a transcript of an email exchange, included in the employment tribunal ruling, after Fekete filed the expense claim, his manager asked whether he had bought all the food for himself.
At the time, he also had work concerns and experienced a “lack of support” from the company, according to the analyst.
Citi’s expenses policy, parts of which are detailed in the ruling, also states that employees must list all attendees whose meals they submit for reimbursement.
