My friend got "suspended" from her job b/c money came up missing?

(she then quit)She was the manager so therefore held responsible...even though she swears she did not take it. One of the other employees is going around telling everyone she was fired for stealing. Can she get in trouble for this legally????

It seems your friend's employer has not found a solid evidence that your friend actually stole the money since her employment was not terminated. In this case, the employee who was spreading the false information in order to degrade someone's reputation can be definitely sued. However, it is a lot better to sue the company and the employee together for her destroyed reputation for being suspended without a valid evidence and the failure for the employer to protect her privacy. I'm pretty sure when the company finds out it is sued because of the employee who has been spreading the rumor, she will be fired right away.
Reply:I choose to interpret you question as "Can the person claiming your friend was fired for stealing get in legal trouble?" Unless the person can PROVE what they say, they could face a lawsuit for slander. Because your friend quit and was not actually fired, it should not be possible to prove she was fired.





If you mean to ask if your friend can get in legal trouble, unless it is proven that she was involved in, or knew about criminal activity, loss of her job is the worst that will happen to her.
Reply:not anymore unless they have video of her doing it
