What is the name of your state? Florida
Recently, my boyfriend did a favor for his company (a restaurant) by DJ'ing a company event for a discounted price. He was compensated part cash and part coupon. It was his understanding that he could use the coupons at work when customers made purchases with cash. In exchange, keeping the cash for coupons. It was believed that this was helping his store save money as they were allotted so many coupons per quarter to give away to customers. Suddenly, senior management fired him for using the coupons in this manner. They stated that the intention of the coupons were for his use on personal time in the restaurant. He never received written limitations on how these coupons could be used. He only received verbal directions on how to get the cash out of the coupons. He receives a 50%- 100% discount without the coupons, it makes little sense to issue coupons to him. He would have not DJ'd the event if the company paid any less. He even offered to buy back the coupons, and then exchange them for cash compensation. It was then that management fired him for "unethical behavior." This seems like a raw deal. Has there been any violations of law or on civil grounds?
