Answer 1

Hi tigerlily,
I would get a lawyer and have your papers ready. Tell exactly everything. Also explain that you were looking for a new job and a they started framing you. You should by law somewhere have protection.
Have the lawyer assist you with resume. Has to be put on paper as prove . This helps in court and only when you have feed the lawyer the right information. Make an appointment and have everything prepared makes a good impression at his / her office.
I was Boss in our company being now early retired I reconize the situation well. This never happened in my company.
The laws are different in every country. I am an American / Dutch living in The Netherlands and every company tries out there employees where a company is weakening or self falling apart slowly they tend to camoflage and leave traces of untrust to other employees but its the dishonesty of there outcome and falls in your hands.
Move on I trust you have enough courage to do so.
Good-Luck !

Answer 2

Your best bet: Don't include anything on your resume that cannot be documented. Finger-pointing looks bad no matter how you put it. Trumpet your achievements. If asked, (verbally and politely) mention that you left with a disagreement and leave it at that. If your former employer mentions theft, but you have been neither charged nor convicted, they are possibly on the hook for slander.

Many employers don't say much regarding references, leaving it up to the hiring employer to conduct a background check.

Answer 3

Well, if you come to our company, and there's a glaring three year hole in your resume, I'm going to ask about it.

And if you name the employer, I'm going to check with them about your work history...and if they tell me you were fired for theft, I'm not going to hire you.

So, you need to clear your name with that company. Find a friend who's a senior person with the company and have them write you a letter of reference. Have them be the contact person for your references from that company.

Answer 4

What a difficult situation! I'm so sorry.
Was there anyone you worked with that would stand up for you, knowing you didn't do what you were accused of, and give you a good reference?
If you have such person, you could list them as the contact for the company on your reference sheet for your resume.
Good luck.

Answer 5

If what you said is true, one of the possible action is to take them to court. Do they have any evidence that you stole something? Remember, they have to prove you stole something.... it's called burden of proof. If they can't, and they used that for a reason of your termination, it can be a wrongful termination. You may be entitled to re-employment or back-pay.

You may want to speak with an attorney before you take any actions.

Answer 6

You probably are a thief
