A construction worker has got his own back on his boss in a rather drastic way after he reportedly didn't get paid on time.

The video opens with an image of a chainsaw, and reads: "Builders who don't wanna pay invoices."

It the cuts away and shows a builder using the power tool to slice through several wooden frames that appear to be holding up a building.

The caption: "Will learn the hard way" then appears across the screen.

It is believed that the construction worker had not been paid on time by his boss, prompting him to allegedly destroy a building site he was working on as an act of revenge.

After being shared on March 19, the clip has now been watched more than 981,000 times .

One viewer wrote: "These guys probably won't learn either that this is not the best way to get back at your boss for not paying, this will just land yourself in jail or with criminal charges."

Another added: "He did this for not getting paid on time??? If I took that attitude with my clients I'd be well and truly out of business. People think it's easy being the boss and paying everyone on time. Well it's not easy at all."
