Questions & Answers
Protection from an accusation of theft by the employer
I am the manager of a boutique retail store in Abu Dhabi.
My company has not been earning money, details I am privy to due to the report I send to the owners, my boss.
I know they considered filing bankruptcy last year when his loan application was denied. Now, my boss is suddenly accusing me of theft a week before my vacation.
He says items are missing in the inventory. When I joined 2 years ago the inventory wasn't complete, and when we changed the systems this year, items were not migrated properly.
I suspect this is their way of regaining back loss, accusing me of theft.
How do I protect myself?
They can not accuse anyone without tangible physical evidence.
It is best for you to take the appropriate measures, such as the contents and their conformity with what has been supplied to protect yourself.
There are many things that can be done under the law.
We understand the difficulty of your position but advise you to communicate with the CEO and present the subject to the owner of the company WITH ALL DOCUMENTS.
