they will probably take the money to equal the amount you stole. next time dont be a complete idiot and steal
That's entirely up to your employer.
You can get fired for any kind of theft.
Probably not, as theft would be considered gross misconduct. But you can still try
It is a theft. Whether it is a felony depends on the amount of the check and the laws of the state and/or the federal government.
Yes of course you can. You owe restitution in any case, whether you are still employed there or not; the fact that you committed theft is grounds for firing--and you ought to be.
Being fired is a civil or employment matter. Theft is a criminal matter. One does not affect the other.
It is possible that the reason for your termination may show up on a background check if the employer includes that information. It will depend on the employer's policies and the level of detail they choose to provide. However, if you were not charged with a crime, it is less likely to appear in a standard background check.
Theft by check.
The check was in return for something. You acquired that something in exchange for a bad check. That amounts to theft.
In a case like this, you should probably omit the truth without lying (if that makes sense). In other words, you should tell the interviewer that you were let go for dishonesty but are working towards it now and then explain what you are doing to work towards this. It is your right not to give details about the situation but be aware that they may check with the previous employer. And if I find that you did not honestly tell me about being fired for THEFT, not mere vague dishonesty, I will never hire you.
If it's misdemeanor theft, you might be able to receive a waiver. If it's felony theft, then the answer is almost certainly going to be no.
No. A bounced check is not a theft but a felony. If a person issues a check that bounces, he/she can be legally prosecuted by the person who did not get paid because of the check bounce. The bank too would charge a fine for issuing a check that bounced.
