My friend recently resigned from a position before being fired for mismanaging funds. She had an account that was in her and her director’s name that she was responsible for. Not to make excuses but her and her family (myself included) were being threatened by someone in prison who guaranteed her that he knew people on the outside so she used money from this account to give him money. After almost 8 years of no one caring about this account upper level management wanted to account for the money and close the account. My friend knowing she was responsible for it put $3,000 back into the account that she got from a credit card and resigned from the job. HR would now like a written letter from her describing what she did with the account. This account was used whenever money was needed for fund raisers, doughnuts etc. and most of the time there were no receipts or documentation from the director or my friend. What type of legal ramification is there from her writing this letter since she was solely responsible for the account? Also, her director told her that she could decide what to tell staff about her departure. She decided that stating it was time to move on was suffice. Some staff has since contacted her to wish her well and mentioned that the director told the entire staff that her departure was for mismanagement of funds. Does she have a case against the establishment, which is a not for profit, for defamation of character? Any advice would be SO much appreciated!! Cheers!
