the summary:
i am currently on suspension at my job for an alleged fruadelent return scheme. the day of the incident i did a cash return for a woman returning a lock box...i made a mistake on the sku number, but the transaction was fine.
loss provention called the police and i was not arrested because lack of evidence. but i was mailed a complaint stating i was being charged with larceny over $250, and the complaint stated there was a record of transactions under my employee number that were alleged to be fraudlent.
the facts:
my job has no solid proof that i stole money or property.
there is no proof that the other transactions were done by me. ( if employees forget to take out their code on the register another employee can function under your number - i have a witness co-worker to confirm this)
also the complaint is completely wrong from the charge. the complaint is discussing the one transaction, where the charge is for a greater crime.....please give me your opinion!!!!

Are you saying another employee took advantage of you without your knowledge, they used your code. Is it easy to get someones code? Are you a good employee other than this incident? If you are this will be in your favor. You may want to reconsider representing yourself as a lot maybe a stake future jobs things like that. Maybe you can consult with a lawyer. You need to have your rights protected and you need to be well represented.

Did you or didn't you is the question, the costumer can ID the person doing the transaction. If you made the mistake, a daily cash account and department inventory will tell the story. The two will show cash payed out and stock in department. Also if your store has cameras it may show the transaction on tape. Don't get caught with your paints down, know you stuff before representing yourself. Very old saying in a court of law, "Only a fool represents ones self"

Your company is free to make charges but also is responsible for proving the charge.
The police declined to arrest you because they had no ready evidence of a crime.
What it amounts to:
You claim your transaction was proper.
Your employer claims that not only was your transaction improper, multiple prior transactions were also fraudulent.
Here are a few things to ponder
Excepting a stolen employee code, you are liable for transactions input with your employee code.
Your time and attendance and register log on and off times are probably accumulated somewhere in a database. Along with a complete record of your returns.
If you are innocent, it may be helpful for you to find your last customer and have her come in and make a statement to your employer.

I REALLY NEED YOUR HELP!!!
i will be representing myself in a simple case....?
If the first statement is true, the second statement needs to become false ASAP. It is said that an attorney that represents himself has a FOOL for a client. And the attorney is expected to know how to run a trial.

Just tell the judge exactly what happened and the reasons why you aren't responsible. You will need to come up with a believeable story as to how it happened. Good luck.
