Accused of Stealing Money at Work
Comments
-
I once worked for a high street store. Let's call them tarts pews. I was unexpectedly told not to report to work for a week. Turned out money was going missing on the late shift when only myself and one other person was working. They asked me not to go in because they already thought it was her and sure enough money went missing when I wasn't in. Phew! It was a horrible feeling even though I knew I was innocent.
The amount you state seems odd. Could it be a refund was done and not entered on the till correctly? Could someone have taken money from one till and outfit vin another because it was short on cash for change? Could the actual till device be wrong? I reconcile large sums of cash from machines and there are often errors with the chips not reporting correctly so the actual sum is different to what the machine says but then balances out after a day or two.
Why has it taken 10 weeks?
I'd not want to look guilty but I don't think I could return to somewhere where they thought I was a thief. I'd tell them in no uncertain terms I'm innocent but I'd look for another job.0 -

Doesn't this important last question remain unanswered?
I know personally I'd turn up with my lawyer, but I'm sure others have better advice.0 -

Assuming CAB is correct a lawyer would only be allowed with the company's agreement.If you are asked to go to a disciplinary meeting, you have the right to be accompanied by:- a colleague
- a trade union representative, or
- an official employed by a trade union.
I no longer work in Council Tax Recovery but instead work as a specialist Council Tax paralegal assisting landlords and Council Tax payers with council tax disputes and valuation tribunals. My views are my own reading of the law and you should always check with the local authority in question.0 -

So the hearing is today, my wife is still there now. Just received a text and the transactions on the till have an employee number next to each one. :j
The investigators have now gone through the transactions, and they show Donald Duck's (Duty Manager) employee reference on sales before and after my wife was even at work!
The investigators are now investigating Dasiy and Donald Duck because they have lied on the statements provided.
Result!
Thanks to all for the advice, as always it has been golden.:eek:0 -

She could appeal, but it would only get her a notice period payment.
Sorry for the bad news0 -
get appealing, it sounds like she has done nothing wrong, get on the phone to the union, even as a none member they will offer some advicemortui non mordent0
