If the information was documented then you may still be able to not give him his job back, but you would HAVE to have documentation to protect yourself and would need to have already built an air-tight case.
If you do decide to give him another chance, I would sit him down and have a "come to Jesus" meeting about past behaviors and tell him that one chance is all he would get. You would have to be careful about exactly what you said I am sure, and state labor regulations would play a part in what you could or could not say, but I would bet that you would be able to tell him he was under heavy suspicion before he left and the activity ended with his deployment, etc.
Good luck!!

Sounds like your grasping at straws , dude !!! Why don't you just give up and fall into your "thin-ice"??? Or maybe get a job at a failing rib joint , steal all the money , then join the army , go to war for your country , wait a year then come all the way back to ask for your job back at the rib joint so you can steal the other $0.50 that is in the cash machine !!! I think you should have children (a lot of them) and make them work for you for free - that will solve your strugel !!!

The returning veteran has a right to his job. You had the opportunity before he left for active duty to terminate him, you did not do so then, you can't use that now as an excuse to deny him his job.
Let him know that you know what he did ("stole money from cash machine"), and only because of his service you are willing to overlook the incident this time. Any future violation of the rules and he's out.

I'm pretty sure there's a law regarding Military leave. You probably want to look that up. And don't look at the past. War will make you grow up pretty quick. I know people who came back with a whole new outlook on what was important to them. Give him a shot. He took a couple for you.

Check with a local attorney regarding what you should do.. Federal law gives soldiers special rights. In addition state's have their own laws regarding employment and soldiers. Also consider helping him find another more suitable position (non-monetary). Perhaps the tour of duty changed him.

advise him there are no positions available at this time, sounds like you currently do not need additional employees.... if you are self employed you have to watch your overhead very carefully!!!

you live in a country where you have to earn your daily bread, no one feeds you, hence stop worring about the other man. do what has to be done. dont do what cant be done.
