Arrested - should work be informed?

honesty is not always the best policy.
keep it quiet, at least until he is into his 1 year employment where he has stronger rights against dismissal.0 -
It's fast food! I think he's got so worried because, to be honest, he's not a popular member of staff and if people there thought they had the chance to 'grass him up' they would.
Earn money (and gain free burgers) in your spare time - blackmail a friend! Especially since he was so stupid that he told you, he deserves it

He should keep quiet. Unless he was representing the Company at the time, for example by being at work or by wearing his work uniform, it is none of their business. There is case law of a worker who was dismissed for punching his manager outside work and the dismissal was ruled unfair, so a bit of D&D in his own time is 'nothing'. The only proviso, as others have said, is that he can be sacked within the first year for no reason anyway.0

It has nothing to do with the work place.

What? He was breaking the law so he was a criminal.
People vilifying the police again I see.
Abit tipsy? Was he being extremely threatening? If no then the police are a waste of space.

i'd check his contract terms - many employers include terms that they must be notified of any conviction. He at least should talk to HR - which is presumably at HQ and seperate from the people he's upset at work.
If it's a big company he could also phone the whistleblowing helpline they're bound to have to ask for advice - he should get an indication without necessarily having to give his name.Wins: CD...

Check the work contract. In my place of work we have to declare if we are charged, arrested or convicted of anything. A staff member recently left because he failed to declare, if he had, he would still be in a job because it really wasnt serious enough for a sacking but the very fact he kept it hidden did him no favours.
Only your mate will know how his supervision will react but if it was me I would let them know. I think its best if he tells them the real story rather than something someone else my have embellished. I hope he keeps his job!!0 -
If I could think of one organisation which profits from crime with a little help from their friends in the press ....Abit tipsy? Was he being extremely threatening? If no then the police are a waste of space.
