As this is in the "public domain", and not a request for help from within the forum, I expect she is getting a great deal of good advice .. and the company involved may well be also getting advice .. both on legal matters and how to improve it's image ..

I would hope so Entwood.

As previously working as a senior manager for a plc, I lost track how many individuals I personally dismissed.  But everyone was through due legal process of the company's disciplinary procedures, with not one of numerous appeals by employees to the tribunal service ever succeeding.  However to not follow procedures and adhere to the rights of the employee could prove very expensive.  This company may, hopefully, learn that lesson! 8-) 8-)

Would they have sacked the woman who sacked the girl if the till was down one day.   I dont think so......  and losing a tenner is not a scakable offence in my book, stealing it is though.

and a [size=14]cookie bar[/size] sending a girl for biscuits......eh!!  something doesnt actually add up to me,

But this must still be investigated Skruntie and the company's disciplinary procedure fully adhered to as I have described in my previous post.  This dismissal would appear to be WRONGFUL dismissal, and ultimately UNFAIR, for which all employees are protected from no matter how long they have worked for the employer.

Whether or not theft was involved, we cannot say without having all the known facts at our disposal, but this has become a secondary matter as the employer has, apparently, not followed legal pathways.

No XP, as I previously explained it would have to be wrongful dismissal, then ultimately unfair dismissal, as the young lady had worked for the company for less than one year
