Caught Issuing Fraudulent Discounts

A couple of days ago I was brought in by my HR and this guy did an internal audit and found out that I was doing some discounts of 25%. So I made an agreement with them and told them that I would pay back the company it was 8700 dollars what is going to happen?

You should have stipulated no charges would be filed, if you reimburse them.

Paying them back will not save your job ... why you willing to pay them back? You had the authority to give discounts , it would appear.

If you are over the age of 18, this could stick with you forever if you are prosecuted. Did they indicate they would be pressing charges or are they stopping with you paying them back and terminating your employment?

The second one where they asked me to pay them back and but they never said I was terminated I have an appointment with them today

Is it bad that I did not show up to the meeting?

What do you think???? Yes, it was bad you did not show up at the meeting. I would expect to be that you no longer have a job, and you will not be collecting Unemployment, and you will be prosecuted.

Two questions: Were you authorized to give discounts? Or did you give discounts you were not supposed to be giving?
What was the amount taken - $87.00 or $8700.00? If the higher amount, I would be lawyering up NOW.

Yes. It is bad that you did not show up for the meeting. If you ever had a hope in heck of keeping your job, that hope faded into oblivion when you did not show up. Nor do I anticipate that you will qualify for unemployment.

And no, you will not "get a new record" when you turn 21.

I was authorized to give discounts and it was a total of 8700.00 and I had already set up a payment plan and I had already paid some of the money back. Also I didn't go to the meeting because I wasnt sure what time I was suppose to go and I didn't have a contact number of the person I was meeting so it was either at 1pm or 3pm so I went to the 3 pm appt. n no one was there

The right thing to do was show up at 1 PM and see if the meeting was taking place, and if it were at 3 PM instead, you could of hung around a few hours or gone and grabbed lunch. But then again, it's your reputation, not ours.

So how will I know if I am going get charged and go to court if I had already set up a payment plan

You failed to show for a meeting so you and the company could make arraignments for them to get paid back. By you failing to show, the company thinks you don't want to pay them back. There next step would be to call the police and file a report.

You will not know if you are going to get charged until a detective shows up at you home and arrests you. Then you will also know your court date.

2 days have passed since the meeting, have you at least reached out to your employer at all?

Yes but I already made arrangements and I had already started paying them Before the meeting. And I have but they do not tell me anything

That meeting was important. They wanted to see how far you were willing to go to settle things.

So what should I do now

You wait.

Your opportunity to have input into the situation was the meeting you missed. Now, you wait for the store to decide on the next steps.

Try to contact your work and make another attempt at making another meeting between the two of you.
