My friend recently got suspended from work due to alleged gross misconduct. The offence is related to taking products without paying for them.
My friend works in a food store, they told me that before, everyone used to take products to have on their break and then they would usually pay for it at the end of the day, or if forgetting to do so, pay the next possible opportunity, usually the next day. They told me a new policy was introduced where you had to pay before hand, although a lot of people still pay afterwards, my friend has had an allegation against them for taking products without paying. My friend explained to me that sometimes they did actually forget to pay on the day but most the time paid the following day, although did completely forget to pay for some items over time. My friend is mainly concerned about the possibility of a black mark on their record or potentially police action.
What, if any advice can I give to my friend as they are very anxious. Thanks all
