![Edmundo Marcelo v Golden Bulls Limited [2025] NZERA 814 - chef dismissed after failed food safety inspection; substantive grounds, but process flaws made dismissal unjustified; $13,707 ordered](/Images/site/EmploymentAdvocatesAucklandCard.jpg)
Chef Edmundo Marcelo was dismissed by Golden Bulls after a failed food-safety inspection. The employer had substantive concerns about the incident, but the ERA examined whether those concerns were fairly put to him and whether the disciplinary decision was reached through a proper process.
Matched passage: Poor hygiene and roach activity was an issue known at least to Mr Yoon, Mr Marcelo, the manager and another employee as early as May 2023.
