Greetings everyone.
I was a bestbuy employee. I have worked there for over a year and have always been the highest seller in the precinct of my store. I was always on time and have been an excellent employee since the start.
I had a small side business and i sometimes bought stuff using my employee discount and then resold it online. I Never stole an item and have always paid for every single item i have obtained. The manager called me over and confronted me about the policy. Stated that it was against store policy and am being placed on suspension and was told that I must pay back the difference (Original price - employee price) for all the item that weren't for personal use. They just showed me 4 subcategories of items and told me that I owed around 30k. My question is, what do i do?
They told me a third party collection agency would contact me to negotiate payment but I am wondering if I do have to pay it? I paid for everything fairly and i was researching online and found that items that I pay, i can do whatever I want. I know its against store policy but is it mandatory to pay back? Thank you.
