I worked as a teller at a bank. After I completed my training and got the cash box I had outages. Than during one day a customer came back saying that I shorted him hundred dollars and when my drawer was checked my bundles of fifty and 20 were short a few dollars. When asked I told I wasnt aware how it happened. Since I was just starting could be an error since it happens with all the tellers. An investigation was done and it wasn’t proved that I stole it or whatever. I was later terminated because of it and I recently applied again for a job and in the background it came that the bank has placed an internal fraud act on me. I want to ask that if that’s ok or legal as nothing was proved and there was no evidence . Should i file a case against them. I would also like to add that when they fired me I was said I am fired for force balancing

Whether proven or not you were investigated for fraud. That’s a simple fact and it’s relevant information for any financial institution to consider before hiring you. I doubt there’s anything you can do to remove that from your record. Also was this a one time thing? To be honest, from your post, it kinda sounds like you were short multiple times. Maybe that’s not the case, but, again to be honest, I kinda doubt the bank would place you under a fraud investigation for a one time shortage of a petty sum like $100.
No I was short a multiple times but does even being investigated for fraud come i background .
N than when they couldn’t find any evidence they fired me saying I forced balanced myself
Find an attorney that practices in business law and seek a free consultation.
I did but all they wanted was to have a second meeting so I can pay them but I want to know whether it’s worth pursuing or not
You need to contact legal aid in your area or hr at the bank itself. You made s rookie error which is not all that uncommon with bank tellers, get this off your record, error does not equal fraud.
