So it would need to be in writing.then, currently her word against his.In my opinion yes, for the reason given by Grumpy.
You would need to show clear evidence that there actually has been an accusation

Nah, unions are a waste of time.............I read it on here.Not necessarily, if there were witnesses to the accusation. Taking legal advice would be pretty essential. If your friend is in a union, they could help with this.

Only just happenedWas the accusation fully investigated and discovered to be unfounded in accordance through a fair and consistent process?

So I need it in writing then.Very difficult to prove, I'm afraid.

There's been no investigation, a line manager has made an accusation on the word of a senior manager that fraud has taken place yesterday. There is no evidence to back up this accusation.If a company has reasonable belief that fraud or any other offence has been committed but a thorough investigation has been unable to substantiate any allegation and as a result the employee had no action taken against them, I'd say that this was not a case for constructive dismissal unless confidentiality had been broken along the way, leading to reputational damage.
If it's a case of some finger pointing and one word against another, I'd seek legal/union advice as this could still result in reputational damage and deformation of character, but could be difficult to prove from either party.
The employee has verbally requested to hand in their notice. This is all going off the word of a senior manager.Constructive dismissal cases rarely succeed, Especially if the person doesn’t walk at the time. It may also depend on whether the person making the allegation knew it was fraudulent at the time, and if their actions fell into the band of reasonableness
