'Late for everything' | Neurodiverse worker's poor timekeeping led to unfair sacking, judge rules

An employer who sacked a neurodiverse worker because of their frequent impunctuality should have made reasonable adjustments to support them, a tribunal has ruled.

Security guard Raymond Joseph Bryce said he had been discriminated against after he told bosses his dyslexia meant he “would be late for his own funeral”.

Bryce, who also has Aspergers Syndrome, told bosses at Sentry Consulting that his conditions left him 'disorganised' and that he often misread his alarm clock in the morning.

He had asked his managers at the private security firm for a grace period of 15-20 minutes in the mornings, should he turn up late, but after a string of incidents they instead stopped assigning him shifts.
