Respondent was assigned with cashier work at said branch together with the remittance of the sales and submission of sales reports at the end of each week;
3.4
On DECEMBER 2015, I received verbal reports from MARIO G. PINEDA, Branch Accountant about the inconsistencies in the sales report despite the good sales performance of the Alabang branch;
3.5
Acting on the Information that I received from MARIO G. PINEDA, an audit team spearheaded by MARIO G. PINEDA was formed to conduct a thorough examination of the sales and sales report
2
made of respondent as branch cashier from June 2014 to February 2016; 3.6
Based on the Audit Report submitted by MARIO G. PINEDA, the following were the findings to wit: A) “Upon further checking by the undersigned (MARIO G. PINEDA) of PACITA L. CAJAYON’S sales and sale reports, there was a significant difference between the sales on the sales reports and the actual sales made as reported by the other employees of the Justeas Tea Shop. Also noted on F. Magallanes trip tickets were the absence of products sold, which should have been stated in the sales reports. B) That upon checking backwards of the Alabang branch sales reports, A TOTAL OF 5,042 cups of Milk Teas were sold, AMOUNTING TO PHP 478,990 FROM AUGUST 2015 TO FEBRUARY 2009, AS OPPOSED TO WHAT WAS WRITTEN IN THE SALES REPORTS WHICH ONLY REPORTED A SALE OF 3,100 CUPS WHICH AMOUNTED TO PHP 294,500. A total of P184,490 was in discrepancy.
4.
On 4 March 2016, I requested respondent to explain in writing the discrepancies in the actual sales and the sales reports submitted. Respondent readily admitted to me her wrongdoing.
5.
Sensing that the management would conduct further investigations on the matter, respondent did not report for work for three day after the confrontation. I sent her a notice to report for work together with a demand letter sent by the company lawyer. Respondent stopped reporting to work after the letters were sent to her. Despite the corporation’s efforts in trying to locate respondent, she could not be found anymore.
6.
Even when the notice to report to work and the demand letter sent to the last known address of respondent, she failed and continued to refuse to report for work to the damage and prejudice of Justeas.
7.
Respondent’s acts of falsifying the sales reports to conceal the actual sales made by Justeas Tea Shop Alabang branch by respondent and misappropriating the undeclared cash sales in the amount of ONE HUNDRED AND EIGHTY FOUR THOUSAND FOUR HUNDRED NINETY PESOS (P184, 490.00) submitted to
3
Justeas Milk Tea Corporation in its principal office in Muntinlupa City and by refusing and failing to pay the same has deprived Justeas of the use and enjoyment of said amount to its damage and prejudice. AFFIANTS FURTHER SAY NONE.
