It doesn't matter. Their young female employee/mother got a gun shoved into her face by who knows what type of violent savage. And the young employee then gets fired because the biz possibly lost too many dollars?
Sue these greedy biz owners until their out of business.
Owners set the rules and when employees violate them, they can get fired. The company said she violated the rules ... so it makes sense that she was fired. It’s the owners’ business and not the employees.
If it was your small business and you lost $5,000 because she didn’t follow your business model guidelines, you wouldn’t care?
In a rush in and grab, they don’t wait to open a safe. They only want the cash in the drawer. If she had followed the guidelines, the guy would have gone away with much less, and she wouldn’t have been in jeopardy.
You’re getting too emotional.
Evidently they asked her to reimburse below $400 dollars. They can’t do that. I think right there, that’s the reason she got her job back. They did open themselves up to being sued for wrongful termination.
I don’t think you can demand an employee pay back this sort of loss, and firing them for it was probably a big no-no in her state. That’s why he’s eating humble pie over it.
If he had simply stated she didn’t follow business guidelines, he would have been well within his rights to terminate her.
It was quiet in there. She probably shouldn’t have had more than $100 in the till.
