Don’t let them take it out of your pay. Keep telling the truth and if they take it out then call the NYS Dept of Labor and complain and maybe in a year you’ll get the $75 back.

Shitty situation, hope it gets resolved. Definitely beat the shit out of the van whenever u can, that’s the least you can do IMO.

Don’t pay for that shit. I can’t stand being accused of something I didn’t do, to the point that I’d probably come completely unglued if my boss accused me of stealing a $75 check.

FUCK EM

no ones saying he wasnt wrong, he absolutely WAS wrong, but to pay $75 out of his pocket to prove himself to people he doesnt want to work for anymore just doesnt make sense… If he wanted to keep the job, absolutelyyy, you pay the $75 and offer to pay moooreeee, but since hes leaving REGAURDLESS, make it look like your leaving because there accusing him and he doesnt want to be around thieves.

I mean the business is getting shafted regardless of who is at fault, and since he was responsible for it I think the right thing to do is pay for it. If he leaves he could be burning a bridge he might need later in life.

Pete, how long did you work at this place?

IE, if you take these peoples advice and tell them to fuck off I quit, how big a hole will there be in your resume?

no i understand, talked to an old professor from siena who is an attorney and since its part of my job to collect money/checks then i was withheld responsible.

thought it was a check ( like i said it was in an envelope) but ended up being cash… i didn’t know because i didn’t open the envelope since its not really my business as whats in it.

it just sucks because it was cash. if it was a check there wouldn’t be an issue

Problem is that it is a family friend who hooked me up with the job. (she does the billing there)
