Lying smoker gets the flick

The 4th of December 2005

A GERMAN company has sacked one of its employees for smoking at home.

Sandro Beier was dismissed from his job with a Berlin printing company after being photographed smoking in his back garden.

The company, Laserline, which runs a rigorous health and fitness program for its 100 staff, said Mr Beier, 42, had "defrauded" it by lying about his smoking habits.

It said Mr Beier had signed an agreement in which he stated he did not smoke. In return he received a monthly bonus of €100 ($156).

"He defrauded us of some €1200 a year," a company spokeswoman said.

"If someone steals from their company, it is normal that they are punished."
