Legal Question in Business Law in California

Re: Caught using ex-company's fed ex account

Perhaps if you tell them it was an honest mistake and that you thought that Fedex was going to bill you, it won't matter. If they truly believe it was fraud, they can file a police report. From there, the police might investigate, but I doubt it. And if they do, only the District Attorney can file charges, and those would (in my opinion) be tough to make stick here. I think you are probably worrying for nothing. Offer to make restitution and that's it.

Good luck.

Re: Caught using ex-company's fed ex account

Obviously, you realize that you did something that you shouldn't have done. They won't fire you, so that's a good thing. Since I suppose the cost was small, perhaps they won't pursue it. It's hard to say from this distance.
