  This is driving me insane. For God's sake! - I wonder how many of these "do-gooders" would take the same view if it was THEIR money at stake. Get real.

  If one of my employees was unable to turn up for work as per his contract, with no doctors note, for 6 months, I'd sack him.
  If I then found out it was all because he nearly killed someone in a drunken brawl and dragged my companies' name through the mud, I'd sack him again.

  I agree most employers would follow your course of action. However there is a slight difference here in that I suspect that you do not hand over £500k to your staffs previous employers. If you did would you be prepared to write off this money to retain yourmoral high ground?
