I was told by my assistant that the register was over cash but that my assistant contacted the manager to let her know. She had asked me to use the money in the safe for a paid out expense. She had explained how the money got there and that she told our boss already. A month later, our cash overage/shortage report came in and our store was short $100 that month. I brought it up to our manager about the money in the safe being a reason we were short and told her everything my assistant told me. The next week I was terminated. No write up or warning. My assistant was written up but not fired. I did not touch the money, how was I the only one terminated?

The incident as described does not justify termination for cause and does not absolve the company of its obligation to provide you with adequate payment in lieu of notice. Call me at 416-216-5906 and I will explain your options. Lumi Pungea
