Add Comment Question: My fiancé is currently in the process of being fired from his job with a moving company. He has received employee of the month a few times and has been praised for his hard work until last week. Money had gone missing from a clients house and the company immediately blamed my fiancé for the missing money. He did not take it. They solely blamed him because it was in the same room he had packed. He had explained to me that there were many people in and out of the house while the job was happening and he even offered for the client to search the truck. He then told me there was an investigation going on through the company and then told me he and his co-workers were interrogated and recorded about the missing money. He was not asked if he could be recorded and the interviewer kept telling him to confess over and over as my fiancé explained over and over he didn't do anything and neither did his guys. He was later told but his other workers that they were yelled at and pushed to the point of tears. He feels that no matter what was said they wanted to pin it on him. In the end nothing was accomplished and my fiancé is losing his job. What can he do? We both don't have money now and he has 3 children to support. Answer: The moving company can terminate your fiancé for any reason (provided that it is not for a discriminatory motive), but it has to provide him with his proper severance, unless the company has just cause. If your fiancé did not take the money, then his employer very likely does not have just cause to dismiss him. It is the employer's responsibility to establish that it has just cause to terminate employment, and just cause has an extremely high threshold. While theft would almost certainly constitute just cause, if your fiancé is not guilty, then he will likely be owed severance. It also sounds like this moving company may be guilty of bad faith in the manner of dismissal, which is grounds for additional compensation to your fiancé at law.
