So my boss comes to me and says she lost her cpa license because her check for her dues was never cashed. Now she blames me.... All i know is she gave me the address and the amount..she signed off on it and I had the secretary mail it. What's my likelihood of getting fired?
what a bunch of lazy people. She gave you a check to send...and then you gave it to someone else to send She should have done it herself.
Gotta go certified mail when you're sending a check... and I agree, if I were her, and it was something that was that important, I would've done it myself.
Do you have access to the bank that the check was written against? If so, verify that the check was never cashed. The way you wrote your post indicates that she had you write a check using the company checking account.
Before losing her cpa license she would have received about a zillion warnings about her past due amount. And would be able to be reinstated by paying a penalty. Those professional bodies don't like to forgo fees. If she actually did lose her license it would likely be for professional misconduct. So if you were involved you may want to move state, and let your family know you'll be away for a spell.
How petty is your boss? Would she fire someone for something that was her own fault? Otherwise, I think Invisible Fan has good advice. Proactively fix the situation and you'd be a hero.
probably the case i am sure if it really was for dues like someone said before they would send warnings before and say something like 'we will charge a penalty if not paid by X" she probably is looking for an excuse and seriously its her license why would someone entrust that to anyone else unless you're her personal assistant/secretary but it doesnt sound like you are
