    Theft Under $5000
    I was wondering what is the most you can get when someone has stole from the company registers at a Wal-Mart? Theft Under $5000. And it is a first offence?:confused:

    It will depend on how hard WalMart wants to prosecute. Generally a firest offender can get a "diversion" to avoid a criminal record. But if this was a systematic theft over a period, they might want to prosecute fully.

    Theft from employer does not usually get diversion as it is treated very seriously in Canada. Best bet is to get a lawyer and try for a discharge.
