Boohoo Worker Unfairly Dismissed for Theft
A Boohoo employee was unfairly dismissed after being accused of theft for setting aside chewing gum intended for customers, a tribunal has found.
Florentin Moraru, a warehouse operative, was alleged to have committed gross misconduct after being caught stashing packets of Mentos gum to share with colleagues.
He thought the gum was for "general consumption" as he had seen staff and managers chewing gum on shift.
The products were intended to be included in customers' parcels.
The Sheffield employment tribunal ruled in favor of Moraru, stating that he was unfairly dismissed.
