In the early 1900’s the economy was changing, and the automobile industry was booming. Sears, Roebuck began as a small mail order company, and later transformed into a nationwide chain of retail department and specialty stores, which included appliances and auto service centers (Emmit, Jueck and Rosenwald, 1951). In the late 1980’s Sears began to see a drop in revenue due to similar market retailers setting up shop nationwide. This created a number of hardships for Sears. On June 11, 1992 The California Department of Consumer Affairs charged seventy-two of Sears, Roebuck’s auto repair centers with defrauding customers by performing unnecessary service and repairs (Fisher, 1992). The Department’s Automotive Repair division charged Sears repair centers with fraud, false advertising, failure to clearly state parts and labor on invoices along with making false and misleading statements a (Fisher, 1992). This case is unique because, it was the first time The Consumer Department of Affairs had targeted the statewide operations of a company (Gellene, 1992). This paper will discuss the events that led up to over forty states seeking the revocation of licenses held by Sears auto centers, along with the types of fraud committed.
In 2005 three Wal-Mart employees in Alameda County, California filed suit in Alameda County Superior Court claiming that Wal-Mart manipulated their time cards to cut their pay. The charges were that Wal-Mart had deleted thousands of hours of time worked from employees’ payroll records by erasing overtime hours. Jon Lehman, Wal-Mart store manager, talked about how their district manager explained to them how to cheat workers out of overtime. The Wal-Mart Corporation paid approximately 50 million dollars to settle an off-the-clock class action suit in Colorado, and in Texas, it is estimated that they cheated workers out of up to 150 million dollars in unpaid
The decision to terminate an employee may be difficult for some managers depending on the situation at hand. Today, many states have adopted the employment at will law to fire employees for any or no reason, with the exception of employees that have a contract in place. According to Erickson (2008), “The basis for an employer to terminate an employee without being sued is the employment-at-will doctrine. This doctrine is a statement that is signed by both the employee and employer at the time of hire that states that the employee can quit at any time for any reason without notice and that the employer can terminate the employee at any time for any legal reason.” On the contrary to the definition of “At-Will” employment, Pozgar (2012) states, “The employment-at-will common law doctrine is not truly applicable in today’s society and many courts have recognized this fact. The twentieth century has witnessed significant changes in socio-economic values that have led to reassessment of the common law rule (p. 494). An example of an organization hiring on an employment on an at-will basis but terminating an employee without justifying the cause of action was the case of Joseph Casias versus Corporation. By law, an employer has to follow guidelines that essentially make ethos rules null and void because there is nothing to adhere to, especially in a circumstance where the employee is terminated by the at-will policy. In this situation, if the employer terminated by allegations that this employee was an active drug user. However, by law, according to Mr. Casias and his attorney, this employee had legitimate reasons for being involved in obtaining and smoking marijuana. As discussed in the case, the law protect employees from illegitimate...

In April 2008, Richard and Michelle McCaulley went to Nebraska Furniture Mart, Inc. (NFM) to buy some furniture.

Based on my analysis of the case, I do not believe the investigation of this case has been performed effectively. The U.S. agencies have identified the victims, the crime, the methods used to carry out the crime, and the originating country where the criminals live. They have even worked with other agencies within the U.S. to get the word out to Americans about the crime and how to recognize the signs to avoid being a victim. However, a successful investigation should lead to an arrest. In this case, there have been no apprehensions or the identification of any suspects who committed the crime of purchase order fraud. Due to not making any arrests, there was no prosecution preformed in this case to evaluate.
