As an employee, facing allegations of theft can not only lead to termination of your employment, but it can also lead to criminal charges. The New Jersey Statutes establish several different types of theft crimes, and these crimes can either be classified as disorderly persons offenses or indictable offenses depending on the value of the property stolen and the other circumstances involved. If you have been accused of stealing from your employer, you need experienced legal representation via a New Jersey white collar criminal defense lawyer. You could be facing fines and jail time in addition to an obligation to return the property that you stole. If you are convicted, your employment prospects could be significantly impacted as well, and you could face various practical consequences in virtually all aspects of your daily life.
“Theft” is a general term that encompasses a variety of different criminal offenses. In the employment context, acts ranging from physically stealing company property to embezzling corporate funds can be prosecuted as theft crimes under New Jersey law. As defined by the New Jersey Statutes, specific theft crimes for which employees can be prosecuted include:
Depending on the circumstances involved, allegations of employee theft can lead to criminal charges for credit card fraud, check fraud, embezzlement, and various other fraud crimes as well. Additionally, if the alleged theft involved the use of force (or the threatened use of force) or unlawful entry into a company facility, it may be prosecuted as robbery or burglary. These are serious crimes that carry serious penalties, and you will need a highly-experienced employee theft attorney to avoid life-altering consequences.
