However, before any money is paid, there will probably be an investigation into whether you have stolen anything else and thus owe them money.
On the subject of laws; you could report your boss to the police for assult. But I suspect you would be reported you for stealing . Doing so will give you a criminal record which will probably make finding a new job more difficult.
Personally, I would let it lie as you have more to lose. Getting a reference from this Company will be difficult enough as it is - don't make it any worse for yourself.

You Nut Nut what ever posessed you to steal from your employer, you probably deserved to get punched in the face. If I were you I would let sleeping dogs lie, I wouldn't bother asking for a reference if I was you, if you do they are at liberty to tell your next employer about you activities during working hours.
