i was caught with tampering my receipts i was the cashier of a towing company i admitted my fault when they called me on my day off not knowing of what will happen they threaten me to file a case of qualified theft if i don't sign the statements they asked of me as i stated i tampered some receipts amounting to almost P 17,000.00 now they are asking me around 200K for settlement or they will file a case on me i dont have that much money i cant produce that amount on settlement
Im asking for advise i worked for them for more than a year but i didn't sign any employment contract

1. No Employment Contract they didnt let me sign a contract on working am i considered an employee or not (if im not considered employed to them is it still qualified theft or reduced to theft)
2. No Operating Procedure
3. No Due Process i was accused without proper investigation or incident reports
4. Illegal dismissal i was terminated the day they questioned me inside the office without proper investigation

issues:
no issued uniforms
no issued ids
salary is mostly late sometimes half only
and others stated above

even if you don't have a signed contract, once you have worked for them and you are under their payroll, and you or they can produce proof of payment of wages, you are their employee.

being sued for qualified theft or theft does not need proof of your employment. it just needs proof that you had stolen something from them.

the should have accorded you due process. due process is give you a notice to explain for what you did, you submit your explanation and notice of decision or termination. since this is a theft case they can put you under preventive suspension. without this you can file an illegal dismissal case in nlrc.

the other issue you stated like uniform and id, its not mandated so not much of an issue. getting half salary is an issue.

if you want to file a complain go for illegal dismissal because no due process was done. however, this does not delete your record with them. for future reference, if other company do a background investigation with this company, chances are you will not be hired.

hope this helps.
