CVS suspended an employee?

Question

So I work for CVS and had to be a witness while our Head LP manager pulled in another girl. He basically said that she had been accepting coupons for items and manually entering the coupon and said it caused a $6,750 loss to the company which she needs to pay back. She had to sign an agreement saying she would pay it back (without anyone other than me the witness present) as well as answer written questions such as "'are you sorry for what you did? Are you aware its unlawful" etc. He asked her if he knew if any employees were stealing. (isn't that LP's job not hers?) She is currently on suspension until further notice. Ive never heard of CVS suspending an employee over silly coupons. And I've never heard of anyone having to pay CVS back. Better question. Why did managers/LP let it rack up that much before telling her? What are her options?

Answer 1

they can rack up as much amount as they want. ultimately i think since she is responsible for the act and it is considered theft that she would be responsible for paying it back. "



she really doesnt have much options..... she did the wrong thing.

Answer 2

She did it and she was proven guilty. What's the confuion? Second qustion. A lot of people are horrible with ERP and POS systems. The LP probably didn't find out about the screw up until much later.

Answer 3

Get a lawyer and say she was made to sign under duress. If she made a mistake and the LP knew about it for a while then he was negligent in not stopping her earlier. That's what he's there for - not to charge employees for mistakes he allowed them to make.
