Wetherspoons has been ordered to pay £25,000 to Brandon Halstead, an autistic kitchen worker, after he was mistreated over a staff discount violation. The tribunal found that the company failed to make reasonable adjustments for his autism, leading to significant stress and anxiety for Halstead, who was wrongly accused of dishonesty. The judge ruled that Wetherspoons' response was disproportionate given Halstead's lack of awareness regarding the discount policy.
