My question involves labor and employment law for the state of: Connecticut
My mother was fired from job due to stealing in March 2017. She works at Shoprite as a cashier and has been working there for 19 years. During her employment, her record has been good and has received numerous compliments on her service.
· On March 2017, one of the customer complained that mom shorted her money so the manager at the store counted her draw and it was even.
· The next day, she was told to go take a lunch break while someone else managed her draw. When she came back she was given a different draw and later on was called to the security office.
· The security officer told her that her draw is over $20 and told her that they have a video of her “putting her hands in her pockets after 3 or 4 customers left from the first customer that complained”
· My mom has a medical history she gets low blood sugar and keeps candy in her pocket to remedy that if she feels her health is getting bad. My mom told the security officer about candies and he told her “he doesn’t care and insists that she gives the $20 back” which she did. After he received the money he told my mom that you are terminated.
My mom does have a note from her doctor that she can eat a candy when she feels nervous. The store doesn’t have a proof of her actually taking the money from the drawer only her putting hands in the pocket.
Is there something can be done for her?
