WA Stealing as a Servant - What to Do Now?

[hopeless1]

I have been charged with stealing as a servant. I have not yet received a summons. This is my first ever offence. What should I do now?

Also, on the same day, I had an interview for employment which requires a police check, will it show a pending charge?

Do you have any further details about the situation?
Also, what was the timeline? From when you were caught by your employer to the police arresting you?

About 4 weeks, what other info do you need?
Thanks.

What did you actually do? The amount, etc?

Also, the pending charge won’t show up on your police check for employment, only actual convictions from the courts.

So until you’ve received the outcome of your time in court nothing will be recorded yet.

It is alleged that I stole money from the till, no amount specified as yet maybe under 500 all up.

Apparently some cctv footage as well.

Thank you again.

Your police clearance won't show any charges, only convictions. In relation to 'what to do now', I suggest you seek legal advice. Unless you have specific questions its hard to help.

Thank you for your help, much appreciated. First time ever in this situation, seems very over whelming. I feel like my life is over.

My pleasure, for what it’s worth I regularly deal with good, hard-working and fundamentally honest people who make an impulsive, silly mistake (I appreciate you are only alleged to have committed the crime and I am not imputing that you made such a mistake). If you need any more information don't hesitate to message.

James can I message you please? I have one question if possible
