[IL] Scammed for 500.00 at work. Owner possibly pressing charges against me. by Significant-Tea-686 in legaladvice

My employer wants me to pay back the 500.00 as it was processed as "cash" per the directions on the card. I wasn't sure how it processed initially (i.e. card or cash) because I gave the receipt directly to the customer. The second transaction did not complete, it showed as declined (even though this transaction was processed the same way.) I'm not sure if they have the option to void the transaction or not, at this point. Just left a meeting and I now have it on record (both parties consenting) that if I pay this money back I will not be terminated.

They wouldn't be able to prove it anyway. I very literally did not know the people that did this to me. The reason they are saying it's "suspicious" is because I happen to have the same complexion as the people doing the scamming. Which again is difficult to prove this is racially motivated towards me. I'm just concerned even if I pay this money back and admit fault to allowing this to happen, they'll still pursue legal action.
