Photo: GettyA Pak'n Save security officer who was fired for reporting what looked to be theft at the self-checkout areas has been awarded more than $21,000 for unjustified dismissal. The company that ran the supermarket, Beare Haven Investments Limited, claimed Edlin had breached the store's policy. A dismissal letter told Edlin he had caused "severe embarrassment" to his employer. It said Beare Haven "fell well short of justifying the dismissal".
