Jon Reeves, a senior vice president at the financial giant had worked at Goldman Sachs since 2007 when he joined the Salt Lake City before moving to Sydney and then transferring to the London office in 2013.

This case at the Employment Tribunal centred around a sex discrimination and unfair dismissal claim based on Reeves’ six month’s paternity leave, a missed promotion, and Goldman Sach’s decision to make Reeves redundant due to performance issues.

Reeves argued that the financial giant treated him less favourably than they would have treated a female employee taking extended leave related to child birth after he went on parental leave from November 2021 to May 2022 after the birth of his second child.
