VIC Previous Employer Accusing Me of Theft

Hi Serge

I was going to leave after all the accusations but I was sick in hospital for a few days and had time off and she emailed me saying with everything going on and my time off work it wasn't appropriate for me to work for the company.

Hi Susan

why have you ceased work? were you terminated or did you resign/ forced to resign,?

Hi Serge, I resigned in order to start consulting independently.

 

[Serge Gorval]

Either way, it looks to me that you were terminated without a valid reason and without fair process. If your business needs capital, you've got a solid claim for compensation through unfair dismissal but strict time limits apply! So you must act quickly.

I'd need to know more to give you a proper help.

I'm just going to ignore her. There is no basis for her accusations apart from misplaced receipts that I said were my responsibility and I had told her to get them reissued to prove I did nothing wrong and she is still saying I stole without proof. Like I said I will be ignoring her and if it keeps going I will be in touch with a lawyer.

That sounds like a good plan - sometimes "do nothing" is the best strategy - wait till you see her hand and play it from there.

Hi Serge, I resigned in order to start consulting independently.

So this is basically a retaliatory action by them?
