This can happen at any point in the business transaction process from snippets being taken prior to it entering the till, equipment being taken from the office or stores to large scale funds being moved or re-directed from your accounts. This phenomenon affects businesses of all shapes and sizes, whether you are a multi-national corporate or an SME.

 

It is often a very difficult situation to be in and confronting staff as an employer is a daunting prospect and one that is often procrastinated, after all you employed this member of staff and trusted them to be loyal to you.  Accusing an employee is extremely risky business unless you really have tangible evidence to back the claims up. You’ll not want to be faced with a discrimination or constructive dismissal claim.
