I work (or used to work) at a major wireless service provider in Canada. I was working there since October. I believe I was past the probation period.

Basically near the beginning of December, a deposit envelope filled with money went missing when it was me and my other co-worker working at the time. I wasn't given the responsibility to put it away into the safe basically since I am still pretty new there. All I remember doing to the envelope was signing it and giving it to my co-worker to put away in the safe.

I got a call 2 weeks ago from the higher ups (a person I don't directly work with) saying I was suspended until they finish an "investigation" regarding what happened to the envelope. Basically, they're gonna think I took it since I am technically the newest employee there, compared to the co-worker who has been working there for over a year.

I am on good terms with everyone that works there, even the manager. I really don't think they would suspect that I took it. But since the call was made from the higher ups, there's not much they can do. The co-worker didn't get suspended either. Feels like this whole thing is an attack on my character.

So basically I'm out of a job for something I didn't do, and I have no idea what to do about it. Should I even put it on my resume? It would be easy to get a similar job if I could, but obviously that wouldn't be the best idea. I was thinking of putting the job on my resume and saying I am still currently employed there so they don't contact them. Should I take legal action?? I feel lost. I really don't wanna start back at square one trying to put my foot in the door for another sales job. Stressful time in my life. Just need advice... Thanks

I was suspended for something I didn't do. I have no idea how I should go about it.

Envelope of around $200 went missing - They suspect it's me - They suspend me (indefinitely?) - They have 0 proof - I'm out of a job
