Can employer interview Employee about Theft?

In: Law & Legal Issues, Labor and Employment Law [Edit categories]

Answer:

Yes. An employer can interview an employee regarding a theft from the company. The employee should carefully review the company policies received at the time of hire and that should be clearly posted at the place of employment. Generally, the employee can choose to have a union representative, lawyer or other person present during the interview or can refuse to be interviewed. However, if they refuse, they may be subject to termination depending on the posted company policy.

If an employee is involved in theft from their employer, they should consult with an attorney before being questioned.
