My question involves criminal law for the state of: Utah
Myself and my girlfriend worked for the same company, and were let go due to "Refund Fraud/Discount Fraud" After speaking to the loss prevention rep, I was told that I cost the company $x.xx and if I would be willing to pay it back? I said yes, and paid it (feeling that it would help my chances in keeping my job). No police were involved or anything like that, but they still decided to let me go. The same thing happened with my girlfriend as well. Only they said that she did not owe them anything, no police were involved or anything like that. So we just both thought we had lost our jobs and that was the end of it. Later on she had tried to apply for another retailer, and when they did a background check, the company we previously worked for came up with a case. She got the letter in the mail with all the details stating what the report was. The incident amount even stated $0.00! Now the thing is, neither of us knew about this report, or anything like that. And it is affecting us both at getting some jobs. My question is, doesn't the company that made that little ding on the record, have to in some way inform us of putting it on there? And even then, why would it even need to be reported if the incident is $0.00? So just wondering your opinions and also if they are required to notify us of putting that mark on our background reports?
