Unfair dismissal and clerical employment: Reverend S Bozos – Law & Religion UK
‘Fr Stavros Bozos was the priest of the Greek Orthodox parish of the Three Hierarchs in Leeds, seconded from the Church of Greece and under the authority of the Archbishop of Great Britain and Thyateira. His contract of employment included celebrating the Divine Liturgy on Sundays and Great Feast Days and monthly at the Greek School, preaching at the Liturgy, catechism classes for children and adults, helping and supporting the community and church and taking care of the “cleanness and seemly appearance of the Church interior”. He had refused to work from the church after the COVID-19 lockdowns were lifted, insisting on working from home and arguing that he should not be obliged to commute to the church because the community’s computer was located at his home, making the commute a waste of time.’
