I was wanting to know if I have a lawsuit case for the following. I was recently suspended for insabordination from 2008. I work at a bank and I was asked back in 2008 to put locks on all teller cash boxes in which another employee was going to help me with time past on and I forgot all about following up on it to get this done. Now 2 years later some money came up missing out of none the less my cash box which had not been used in the past 6 months. Not knowing who took the money and knowing that I didn't take it, I was suspended cause the bank took a loss, and until the investigation is over I am without work and pay. Do you think I would have a case in this matter?

During those two years, did a supervisor or a bank official remind you and the other employee to get the work done? Where is the other employee now?

No my CEO asked me to do this and none ever checked behind me or ask me anything about if or why it wasn't done until now when the money went missing.

Has the other employee left the bank's employ?

Why do you think you may have a lawsuit? What's in your favor?

Doubt it... not at this point. Its standard procedure in banks when there is a shortage to keep the people who was short away from access to any other money pending an investigation.

Question... why did you have a cash box that wasn't being used for 6 months with money in it. Why would it hold the money and be balanced at COB daily if it wasn't being used for that long.

It should have been returned to the vault and documented. And cash drawers at a bank ARE balanced at the end of the day... every day. Even for loan officers. Even if you push papers... if they represent money... you balance at the end of the day.
