Legal Question in Criminal Law in Texas
O/M paid herself tons of hrs of unauth. overtime/what r my rights as employer?
I fired my office manager Thursday after doing a review of our Quickbooks and discovering that she has been paying herself (and another employee who I fired a month ago, thus the audit) since at LEAST 1-1-06. I was to prosecute her for theft/embezzlement/. How do I start? Who do go to? I would really like to not pay an attorney on top of $100K+ she has stolen) Call,,the DA? the news? Plz advise.

Do not call the media -- you may say something that ends up being slanderous. Call the police. They will review your evidence. If she is convicted, repayment/resitution could be part of the sentence. Be prepared that the money is probably long gone, and will be difficult to recover.
