The maximum unfair dismissal compensatory award (in the UK) is £105,707. Imagine if the maximum you had to pay if you stole from or defrauded your employer was £100k ...

The legislation tends to protect the paper entity 'the corporation' rather than the living breathing human.

You can still sue the company for other reasons - for example if they stole from you the employee.
