Hairyloon Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 At least now everyone has accepted that she has committed the criminal act of theft. In fact, no. But is it relevant? Whether it is theft or criminal damage matters little since both are crimes and if you want them dealt with as such, then talk to the police. Or, if you want to be sensible, then look in your employee handbook under "grievance procedure". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or, if you want to be sensible, then look in your employee handbook under "grievance procedure". In fact, yes. But since both criminal damage and theft are treat as gross misconduct punishable by instant dismissal under grievance procedures , I am inclined to agree that it is not relevant which criminal act she is guilty of.

Jeffrey Shaw Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 No-one is guilty of any criminal offence unless/until convicted. And the 'boss' is not going to dismiss herself, is she? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AWOL Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 Many people in the past who have been guilty of a criminal offence at work have been dismissed (or rather allowed to resign),without a conviction. The person who has committed the offence would have a choice of being reported and found guilty plus sacked, or merely being "allowed to leave". They choose to go without a conviction. The people whose food was stolen should report the woman to the area bosses demanding for her to be "allowed to leave" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeffrey Shaw Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 Yes- but nobody's yet told us whether the offending 'boss' is the proprietor! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AWOL Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 The path that you are going down here suggests that bosses who own their company can commit criminal acts within that company with impunity. How far does this impunity extend? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
