Madness, the boss should have been praised.

He hadn't been found guilty by a jury of his peers so was still, in the eyes of the law, innocent.
Would be OK fo YOUR employer to suspend YOUR rights to habeas corpus

The guy wrote himself a cheque. If he was working for you, would you let it go?

A lot more to this than just matey boy being paraded down the street, what next tar and feathering?

Has he not already given up his rights to an employer/employee relationship by stealing from the company?

The boss behaved appallingly but looks the part. I read elsewhere that he was beaten by several people and bundled into the back of a van.

Bloke must've been pretty timid/afraid of his boss to let him do this? Is the boss a psycho hardnut or somethin?

Why £845?? You'd have at least rounded it up to £1k

The employer was interviewed yesterday morning on 5Live on the 1000-1200 slot. He demonstrated a staggering level of brazenness about the whole incident. The employee was sat on a chair and had had his hands tied behind his back. I couldn't quite believe what I was hearing. Nor, refreshingly, could the majority of listeners.

The employer deserved all he got - he could easily have dealt with that - immediate dismissal for gross misconduct (wave bye bye).
But to do what he did was stupid in the extreme - did he seriously think what he was doing was acceptable?

I read that it was a case of employee saying this money was owed to him and the employer wouldnt pay it, hence the odd ammount.

The boss is an idiot and if the stories of beatings or tying up are true should get more than the employee.
A caution seems lenient for the employee, however that was the Police's decision, nothing to do with the legal system.

Obviously tying him up was a mistake, nonetheless I find the irony of suing for humiliation and ending up with the story appearing in various papers world wide amusing.

so
employer fails to pay employee £845 that is owed to him .
employee in frustration takes the £845.
employer kidnaps assaults and publicly humiliates employee
police believe that employee has had a raw deal and in the circumstances is only guilty of a minor wrong
employer agrees his own behavior was so bad that the public are at real risk of violence from him in the future so enters in to a financial bond to behave himself in future. AND also pays a huge ammount to make the employee stop a civil action that would have been doomed to fail if the employer was in the right.
And people think the employer is the hero in this?

See, once the whole story comes out (not at all clear in the Aussie article I linked to), it all makes a bit more sense. I'm with the Employee now, good on him! Though, one hopes the boss doesn't know where he lives now... seems the type for some over the top revenge action!?

Just shows you how crap the media are at portraying a story properly. The media just want to sell their papers etc, so they will spin it anyway they want.

nutter - employer broke the law himself - two wrongs never make a right
Must be a nutter and have overpowered him used some violence/threat etc as I doubt anyone would do this willingily.Given the employer owed him the money as well who was the thief exactkly here?
Paid out to avoid legal action and still thinks he was in the rightPosted 1 year ago # -
At the time I sided with the employer. Now I have to say I am over the other side - but I would like to know the truth about why the employee wrote the check. The amount is odd and does seem to tie in with the "money owed" reason.
