Hello

I have an employee who believes that their informal chat with their line manager was recorded without the employees consent. The meeting topic was regarding a possible restructure of the employee’s job and department.

The reason the employee believes it was recorded is that there were no notes taken by either party during the meeting however, the next day an almost verbatim script was sent to the employee from their line manager with details that you could only get from either; a note taker (which wasn’t present) or a recording device.

The employee is obviously aggrieved by this.

I ask what I can do to support the employee and is there case law that supports the employee in this instance?

Thanks

Phil
