Slander?

My partner works as a store manager for a well known charity and works very hard for the charity even arranging fund raising evenings in her spare time. The majority of the staff she takes on are young adults with health problems, aspergers etc who would be missed or forgotten in society. She has done so well in building their confidence they often leave her employment completely different people. However, her area manager doesn't like her - I don't know why maybe he doesn't like the way people love her - whatever. He continually nit picks and it does get her down. Today he sent her an email saying that the till was down £10 one day last week - because of donations etc and maybe the staff she employs I really don't know - and he wanted to know if this was just a clerical problem or something more 'sinister'. I guess my main concern is 'is this a form of slander'? What else could he mean by 'sinister'?

If he hasn't named anyone I don't think it can be classed as slander. And since it's in writing, if it were it would actually be libel.
By sinister I assume he means a member of staff is taking the money. I don't that there is an issue of slander here- he is simply asking about the problem
does sound like a fair request to me.asking her to be more aware.it can be difficult to receive advice from someone you feel doesnt like you.has she talked to her area manager? most of the time these issues can be overcome by a chat.
I think you and your partner are reading too much into this. It sounds like a completely reasonable thing to ask if there is money short in the till. Basically, is it a mistake or has someone helped themselves to £10? From what you say, no-one has accused your partner of anything.
I agree with Twenty - it's maybe an unfortunate choice of words, but basically he's saying "keep an eye on the till".
