An Aberdeen oil tycoon has been accused of developing a “hodge-podge” of reasons to fire an employee who asked for paternity leave.
First Integrated Solutions chairman Ian Suttie was brought to an employment tribunal by the firm’s former managing director Steven Mearns.
Mr Mearns said he was sacked after rejecting a new package of terms and conditions which included a £30,000 cut to his £100,000 salary and a greater emphasis on sales – which were only brought up after he asked for two weeks’ leave for the birth of his third child.
