Banker’s guilty plea to sex offences raises questions about how employers monitor criminality
On a Monday in early July, Goldman Sachs’ London private wealth team was given some unexpected news from the bank’s management. A colleague, who some of them had worked with for years, would not be coming into the office any more, they were told. He had been sent to prison. Ronan O’Grady, 33, was sentenced to two years in prison by Dublin’s Central Criminal Court in June after pleading guilty to eight counts of sexual assault in February.
While law enforcement in the UK has access to the Police National Computer, which contains records of convictions and other run-ins with the law, it is not readily accessible to companies. Employers largely have to rely on trust. “The best employers can do is impose an express obligation on individual employees to notify of any criminal proceedings and other wrongdoing,” said Philippa O’Malley, an employment lawyer at Slaughter and May.
