My son worked for UPS for several years and they did random checks on workforce as they left for home.

as usual - if you are a devotee of the law thread - it depends on what the employment contract says

SD had a six strikes and you are out
and I wondered if 'having a baby in the lavatory' would earn you a strike, really was true ....

the thing that really stuck out was the original Beeb report at 5 pm that said:" Mike Ashley gave the MPs hell and went in fighting - his first two answers wiped the floor with them and set the scene of what was to come - to wit he was gonna manage the firm and not them "

which wasnt how I remembered it and we didnt hear from that particular fella again .....

Must be in the contract of employment and there are quite stringent requirements which need to be followed.
