There is no public "record" of any job actions, suspensions, or repayment agreements, etc. unless there was a lawsuit or a criminal case, so if you legal action was never taken by the city, state, or store, there is no public record. Note, however, that should a future employer call this employer to verify employment or get a recommendation, your current employer could disclose to them that you stole a bar but repaid it--they don't have to disclose it, and in fact are likely to not mention it, because it is a such a small deal for them--just be aware that legally, they *could* mention it, since it is the truth, and an employer may disclose any true thing that occured at work.
