An employee issued a security cheque on behalf of the company, what to do?
Hi,
I had given a security cheque of AED 5000 on behalf of a company I was working for as at that moment the owner was in the process of changing the bank account.
Therefore on goodwill, I had given my personal cheque. I left the company and now the company is not paying the service provider and therefore the service provider has deposited the cheque even though I clearly asked them not to, as I am not part of the company any longer.
I have now asked the service provider to return back my cheque and to send their collections team to the head office to get their payment sorted.
Is there any way I can take this matter to the police as the company is still running and the owner is still around?
All invoices were issued under the company.
I would much appreciate your assistance on this matter!
You should sort it out with the company.
The provider has a legit right to withdraw the cheque since there are stuck payments. You should have cleared this cheque while getting out of the company.
Moreover, you should bring proof that the cheque was for this purpose only, so you can remove the liability from yourself.
