Can my boss accuse me of stealing and I know I didn't do it? Someone was around me the whole time but Im not the only one that can get in the system. My manager and Director can easily watch what Im doing and change anything while Im working Can they be trying to get rid of me? Do I have any rights in this? This could ruin my reputation. I dont steal!!

He can accuse you of any wrongdoing on any grounds as long as the grounds are reasonable. Maybe he just wants any reason to get rid of you--which is illegal. Tell him you will take a polygraph and you will pay for it. that is proof of your innocence. If he denies your proposal then you can file a complaint with your human resources department because you think hes being unreasonable discriminatory, or something. Its sounds to me like he just does not like you for some reason.

It all depends. If you are on a computer system protected by a password and they log in as themselves and change things, each keystroke is recorded and depending on who is logged in at the time any change is made to show which account made the actual change. If you are on a common user network ( everyone has same username and password) it would be difficult to prove who actualy made any entry changes, these types of accounts usually are not used in many corporations, however, they stil do exist. The administrator of a well designed network should be able to tell who is making changes to any entries to the system. In most cases the administrator is not a manager or director. In any case, the burden of actual proof should be on the employer. However, if you work in an 'at will' state ( such as Washington) you can be fired without cause. If you are a union member, you have due process rights. If your not a union member, you probably dont want to work for someone who would accuse you in the first place. Your description is a bit vague but based onwhat you said, I replied with what I know about networks and proving falsified data. There's always a trace, and if they delete it, then it looks very suspicious as there would be significant data gaps as they would not be ale to delete one item or transaction without leaving questionable data gaps.

He can confront you about it, but firing you without sufficient evidence would be difficult for him, if this happens you can most definitely make it an issue.

They have to prove it.
