CCTV footage can't be used in court as evidence.
Sure it can. Happens often.
Is it always and automatically admissible? No.
But can it be admitted, some of the time? Sure.

Whether or not the particular footage proves, or doesn't prove, anything is a separate question.
The employee will be terminated most likely.
The employee has options, even as a casual.
Much depends on the facts and circumstances.
