What if you were being wrongly accused of taking money from where you work?

Tell him to put it in writing and then tell him to prove it.  Take it to the Labor Board or call them.  Don't take this lightly...make him prove it or accuse you formally.  A lawyer should be involved if he does this.  \nI was a supermarket cashier years ago and everyday the bookkeeper would tape the amount the register was short from the previous day on all 8 registers.  The amounts were all ove 200.00 and we were appalled.  There was a supervisor/floor manager and a few of his friends who handled the money as well, collecting money every few hours for the front office.  Turns out no body was every charged but these guys used to hit the race track every weekend. So you have to wonder....It made us all very uncomfortable.

First answer here is good, but I might disagree.  \n\nIs the co-worker going to be out some substantial money because of this?\n\nDoes the boss have the right under company policy to do what he is doing?\n\nThose are a couple of questions that come to mind right off the top.  You need to decide if you wish to continue to work for someone with these kinds of ethics.  If he's really doing something unethical to your co-worker, what makes you think he won't do it to you?  \n\nYou don't say, but is your business licensed by some government agency?  Is it possible that agency might just "happen" to stumble in for an inspection and be able to see what you're talking about?  Is it possible your co-worker can find out on their own in such a way that your boss wouldn't be able to assume it was coming from you?  \n\nWhat would your co-worker say or think about you if they found out you knew and did not tell them?  Is that important to you?  \n\nAny chance the client might call to speak with your co-worker about the file?  Would doing so alert your co-worker to the fact that the file had been "misplaced"?\n\nYou're in a tough spot.  Good luck with this.

Overseas is the key word here. \n\nContact your local FBI office and file a complaint with them. They can direct you to the most efficient way to resolve this issue. Assuming you voluntarily gave them the money, without threat of extortion or other mischievious means, they can file a case for you based on the fraud alone. \n\nYour local police department will more than likely refer you to your District Attorney - who will only push this off and tell you there is nothing that can be done locally. \n\nContact your FBI office immediately and either bring them your email messages, wire transfer, and other contact information so that they can pursue this matter. \n\nWhere was the money wired to? What country are the two people you speak of residing in? This makes all the difference.

Honestly don't know the law but I suspect if you lost the money (it's your fault) you need to pay your employer back for it.

It's absolutely illegal in every state to have a falsified court document. If it's not your fault, contact the workers supervisor and asked to have it straightened out. You don't want it coming back to haunt you.

You receive based on where you worked.

It depends on whether or not you were following company policy when you accepted the check.  Did your employer authorize you to take it and did you check ID?  They probably do not have the right to make you pay for it in court but they can fire you.\n\nIf you do pay for it, try turning it over to the city attorney for collection.  Many places have made it a crime to write a bad check and sometimes you can collect up to hundreds of dollars for damages.  Heck if I was a business in some of these places I think I would hope people wrote them to me.  I'd make a living just sitting around accepting bad checks and collecting extra penalty money.

You need to speak to your boss right away. Ask to speak to him privately and give him the information you know about the stealing. You can request that he keep this confidential unless it has to go to court. This will protect you against retaliation. Stealing is wrong and harmful to the business. If you do not report this, you may be considered complicit in the stealing. Tell the boss today.

Yes! You can try waiting, but if they find the error, you will have to repay them. If they really don't like you, they could claim you commited fraud to get the money.

Yes it is possible. It would be "theft of services" is you got caught.

YOU CANT EXPUNGE CONVICTIONS.  Anyone who told you otherwise is mistaken.  Also you cannot get any bonded employment with a theft conviction. your employer will tell you that you falsified your job application when you didn't put this down.  grounds for dismissal and no unemployment.

It sounds like you're a victim of fraud.

Hopefully you'll be charged with stealing/fraud.

You, personally can't find this out. It is confidential. If the person is suspected of fraud, you should report it to the agency, and let them handle it from there.

That is definitely considered fraud.  And if you know about it, then you are an accessory to fraud.

Report him to the company that he is embezzling from, then to your local Police Department.
