Employee Appreciation Day | Boss praised for repaying worker who lost their wages

Employee Appreciation Day is a chance for leaders to let their staff know just how much they are valued, and one boss has earned widespread praise after reimbursing a young worker who lost her own wages on her way home from work.

Eric Banner has gone viral after reports in Yorkshire Live revealed he stepped in to make sure an employee at the business he co-owns, Tealicious Vintage Team Room in Yorkshire, wasn’t left out of pocket, even though the mishap was no fault of his or the company’s.

According to the regional news outlet, the young member of staff was "devastated" after realising the £45 she had earned during her Saturday shift at had fallen out of her pocket on her way home.

But when the girl's sister posted an appeal on social media, hoping someone would find the cash, it was Banner who saved the day by commenting that he would happily pay her wages all over again.
