Question regards to “reference checks”?
I have a question. I had an employee here steal cash and inventory (he got caught) and he quit right after we caught him (so he was never “fired”). This happened this January.
This week I got a call for a reference check (prior to them quitting they said they were looking for jobs in their field and asked to put me as a reference. At the time I said yes.)
It seems that he forgot to take me off. If an employer asks me what’s the reason for them leaving, or if I was to hire them again, could I tell them due to theft?
