Please don’t report him yet as even you sef don Dey confused on ur next line of action based on that you don’t want to complicate his life for him. If you report him on Monday and he gets sacked, you might end up feeling bad about your action.

Wetin me go do next b dis, I will call him and have a chat with him outside of the working premises. I will let him know I am doing him a favor by letting him go off the hook but it will be on the condition that he tells you about all the shady dealings going on there with other staffs too and how they do it( might be he is not the only one doing it). Buy his loyalty, make him see that honesty pays, block all the loopholes and you will see someone who will be loyal to you for life.

I have been down this road before, I reported the guy and got him arrested. I later started feeling bad that my decision was too hasty and even after that theft never reduced but the guys under me just got wiser.

you just stated a law from Marian manager. I support this

Bros as a HR practitioner, i will advise that u issue the guy a query and keep the response because if the issue eventually get to the mgt thru whatever means and u have not done anything, it means u are complicit. The query i issue will exonerate you! When u are trying to help someone pls do it cautiously! Not at the expense of ur job!
Meanwhile if such happens again and u catch him or them pls do not spare him!

Exactly my point. But d issue is that d query further escalates the issue to other person's cos I believe queries must come thru d HR officer or manager, which in most cases goes thru his superiors (I stand to be corrected) and which obviously makes the case hopeless 4 d theif whom I believe wants 2 b given a second chance. That's why I felt making him write a report or statement on d incident and signed is better

Call him and talk to him privately. Warn him never to do such again.
Let him know that if he was caught by another person, he might not be spared.
Even if he was having problem and needed money, stealing will only make his case worse.

I think you are right, every organizatiohas her own system or process! The report will suffice in this case so u don't put ur job on the line for someone!

mine the reverse is the case, a senior colleague is stealing. I no fit talk anything but he no know say I know say e dey tif

Those asking you to forgive him have the tendency to steal.
This is not how first time. If he was broke, why did he not request for salary advance?
Don't worry about him being a family ma since even him is not worried about losing his own job.
Report him and let management be the one to give him his last warning. He is just greedy and not appreciative of his humble beginning.
