      I looked at that. Actually I would argue that was even more negligence by the management there. I mean they couldn’t even say how long he’d not been working for.

      But in reality he was paid for at least 6 years of work (and they suspected more) and only fined for 1 year of pay. So, he’s still a winner I think. And yes, public funds likely did help in bringing that case forward.

      Most larger private businesses tend to avoid going to a court for such things unless they need to in my experience.
