Human Resources Case Study

Read the following case:

Pam Jones worked for 41 years at the same company and had positive performance ratings and personnel records. She needed a calculator for work which she purchased with her own money but was not reimbursed because she lost the receipt. Later, a security guard stopped her as she was leaving work and discovered the calculator in her belongings. After a brief internal investigation, she was fired and it was announced through internal notices that she had committed a theft. The employee sued for libel, saying the company used her as an example to prevent other thefts.
