A former employee of your firm was dismissed when it was suspected that she had stolen from the petty cash account. It could not be proven, but suspicions were strong enough that the firm decided to let her go. She has now applied at another firm, and listed your firm as a reference. What should you do?
I would reccomend her, but I would tell the other company to be careful. She may not have been proven guilty, but it doesn not mean that she did not do it. Now, it is all up to the company to make the choice.
