Co worker convicted of fraud and no one know how to I inform employer?

Boken T: Co worker convicted of fraud and no one know how to I inform employer?
Hello All,

I am asking this quest and in need of help I have a co worker that has recently plead guilty to 3rd degree felony fraud of Credit card and changing a will. In our profession he works with credit cards on a daily basis. I came accross his conviction by looking at our court data base on line. Does any one know if it is illigal for a person convicted of Credit card fraud to work with credit cards. Also is there a service or something that lets employers know of such a person working at there place of employment. I dont belive that he has informed them of his charges/ conviction. I think they should know but I dont want to be the one to tell them and look like a rat. Any one have any thoughts???

Thank you very much
I have veridied it is him by his date of birth and middle name

Not very clear what it is you mean by “work with credit cards,” or what your position is relative to his, but… let me put it this way. If you knew he was a convicted child molester, and you were working alongside him in a daycare, would you “rat”? You betcher sweet a’ you would– you better.

Same here. It’s not like he was convicted for vehicular manslaughter or bigamy or some other felony. His crime relates directly to your employer’s business; you KNOW that’s why he’s there, cuz he knows how to make the easy-sleazy money.

I say drop an anonymous dime on him, and sleep easy about it. Your employer may even have a “whistleblower” line — anonymous reporting– whatever they call it. Use it.

Let’s say you don’t say anything, and in six months, he rips someone off. Then the victim sues your company. How will you feel then?

[EDIT GOOD POINT MATRIX: You’d better be 101% sure you’ve got the right guy before you blow the whistle.]

You should tell your employer immediately. Think about all the personal information your co-worker has access. You would not want your own information to be accessed by someone who were convicted for CC fraud. Put yourself in your customers position too. Additionally, he probably lied in his application. You don’t want your employer to think you are involved with this guy by not reporting.

Your employer needs to review and verify applications. check court database is important if the company business were involved in credit cards on a daily basis. Make sure it is really your co-worker before talking to your employer.

Good luck.

You SHOULD tell your boss

If you don’t want to tell them directly, print up a copy of your search and put in in your boss’ in-box (or mail it).

I would GUARANTEE it was a condition of his sentence.

This is what I would do if I were you, it saves your face and protects your company’s customers.

Make a copy of the public record, put it in an envelope, and mail it to your boss.

That should take care of it…he’ll be informed and no one will know it was you.

His conviction is directly related to his job, so YES you should tell someone.
