Fraudulent ex colleague hired at current employer [duplicate]

manpreet Best Answer 3 years ago

I've recently learned of a former colleague being hired at my current employer. From multiple sources news came to me regarding his termination. This was due to fraud and he was subsequently fired on the spot.

Should I notify my employer?

Should I notify my employer?

If you have some reason for maliciously trying to sabotage his new job you could pass on hearsay or even find proof and hand that in.

In theory though the employer should already be aware or they didn't do their homework properly. People do get hired despite being fired elsewhere for fraud, in some locales I've seen whole careers where a person has been forced out of multiple jobs for outright theft and still got another job, even in finance positions.

Depending on the position, your role, and locale you have no ethical or professional responsibility to do anything about this. You're obviously not part of the hiring process.
