My job is accusing me of something, but they won't say what. They claim they have "evidence" against me that they won't divulge until they take me to court. But I haven't done anything wrong. What should I do?

well, as a former internal investigator with a major retail chain...I can tell you that they do not, and will not divulge any information they MAY have until it goes to court. That being said....they usually only take it to court if they have solid evidence against you. I suggest an attorney would be your best bet here. Good Luck. ps. major companies often "bluff" you by saying these things, when in actuality, they have nothing to go on.

Who exactly is accusing you? Are you sure it's true? If they have evidence against you for wrongdoing, they'll fire you--not take you to court.
If it's real, write memo to the accuser and "cc" someone in HR. Explain that this mysterious accusation is a distraction from your work and ask for a meeting with an HR person present so you can clear yourself of any suspicions.

Well, if you havent done anything wrong... Even though you might have THOUGHT u didnt do wrong could still mean to someone else that you did. Think of all the things that u have done at this job.
Ask some one what you, so called, "did". If they tell you and you remember, you cannot deny. But if there is no reason or not a good one you are good to go.
Mean while, find another job. (With trustworthy people)

If they're taking you to court they should at least tell you why you're going. How do you know that it's along the lines of stealing rather than just wrong-doing? If they have evidence and you say you didn't do anything it's a possibility that you could've been framed.

you're no longer arrested! you will possibly have pronounced so. it is a civil subject curiously. Fist off i'm a former LPM (Loss Prevention supervisor) so i'm no longer purely some fool who would not comprehend what he's speaking approximately. First have been you fired? if so get a letter of termination. which will are available in reachable no count what occurs. next in view that no Police have been in touch or any arrest made (i anticipate no longer you never pronounced) they ought to plot to sue you for damages or losses. if so they ought to serve you with papers. once you get this place of work work the help on "what" you're being sued for would be there besides as dollar discern they are suing for. you could now collect your guy or woman protection data and if want be hire a criminal expert. Now i'm no longer taking factors and am no longer saying you probably did or did no longer try this. i will declare companies do no longer circulate to this extreme with perplexing data. possibly you have been in touch in a robbery devoid of understanding possibly you're lieing and you probably did scouse borrow i do no longer comprehend yet this what you're able to do for your self. you probably did no longer say you have been arrested or charged so this heavily isn't a criminal count it will be civil and that takes very much of time. in this and as quickly as you detect out what its approximately you have got a possibility to settle. desire that helps

Let them take you to court. If you are innocent, they will be horrified. Then you sue for defamation of character.
But be sure you are innocent; If they are taking you to court it's likely they feel they have a solid case (which usually means they have hidden security camera footage of the accused doing something illegal), so get a good lawyer! Remember, it is completely legal in most places for your employer to monitor your activity, openly or covertly, while you are on the clock.

You have the right to know what charges are being brought against you so you can form a defense for yourself. Who ever or what ever institution has had the charges brought against you that knows of them - they have to give you a copy of those charges. Contact them and get a copy for yourself (for instance the Unemployment Agency - will give you a copy of your reasons for termination - if the employer is not being upfront about it.
Hope this helps.

It does not sound like you have a very good relationship. I would face them directly and tell them that you have no idea of what they are accusing you of and that you plan to clear your name. There is no other action you can take until this comes to a conclusion. If you are innocent, that will come out.

Tell them to show you what they have and if not you will be seeking legal advice. There is a lot of free aid, etc. that you can get help with. I would really throw it in their corner and make them prove it. If they have nothing then they are harrassing you and that is against the law.

They might just suspect you of something, now there trying to pressure you into admitting something. If they truely have no reason to accuse you of anything then stick to your guns.
