Colleague Discount Card Misuse

I’ve had a reference from My employer before for another job I applied to before ,but it was through HR. Do you know what they include in this reference? If all they do is give date of employment and attest to my employment then I can still use them as a reference?

You weren't in the wrong - (if I've correctly understood) you didn't know that the discount had been used without your permission. I'd fight this - IMO, it's wrongful dismissal and should be compensated. Good luck.

I don't know if we're definitely talking about the same company and even if we are I have left them and their HR system has changed recently. But in general it's very flat neutral references with dates. Obviously if you are super curious you have data protection rights! However, I would just go with colleague as you seem to want to do and threeportdrift says. I write references now for a voluntary organisation and many employers are quite lax and it's surprised me what they'll accept/who. Not saying don't worry, as I've had reference issues in the past, just saying it'll be all right.

As for not being judgemental, I mean you wouldn't believe some of the more serious things that people do.

I would, but they made it clear that it was my responsibility to prevent the misuse. I’m not even sure why they called me to a hearing tbh. I wish they saved me the time and fired me beforehand.

How? It is reasonable to expect that property in your home is secure.

I'd take this further. It's not right. I'm sorry that idiot corporate policies have done this to you.

Thanks for your support. Do you have any advice on finding a new job and how to get through the job interview, how to tell them I was fired?

Sorry to jump on this thread but I let my sister used my discount card today and the girl at the till said to be careful so now I'm sick with worry. She used her own card to pay. How does the company pick up on this? Does it have to be reported by a staff member or store manager? How would they know who owns the card and who's paying... can't sleep with worry

Did anything ever come of this? In a similar situation myself and feeling sick with worry 🤢🤮

They only know by a system called 'Eagle Eye' If there are multiple nectar cards used with your discount card it will flag up to HR, and HR will tell your manager to have an investigation meeting with you.
