Worker forced into hooker party gets compo
Latin America's biggest beverage company Ambev must pay $US25,000 ($A24,550) to a worker who was forced to attend prostitute parties as part of a manager's incentive program, Brazil's top labour court ruled.
Anheuser Busch InBev's Brazilian unit AmBev must pay because of the embarrassment and bullying the employee suffered, the court stated in a release on its website.
The statement says incidents with prostitutes happened at least 10 times in 2003 and 2004.
The court's Monday statement says the worker at one point was tied up at work and forced to watch pornographic films and a stripper performed in his office.
The statement described the worker as a married evangelical Christian.
The worker's manager used the services of prostitutes to reward salesmen who met their goals.
Ambev said on Tuesday in an emailed statement that "old cases" don't reflect the company's daily operations, adding that it "preaches respect and values teamwork".
