If your company finance usually goes through the secretary... I will advise you get an external auditor for proper audit of the company's financial details. You should officially write her to surmit all the documents or information in her possession within a stipulated time and if she failed, take a step further by arresting her.

The above is good advice.
However, if you feel she may play a fast one on you, then you may quickly arrest her to ensure she doesn't move away beyond your reach.
You need to properly outline company documents in her possession and any company rules she may have flouted. This will strengthen the case.

But it was rash of you to send the video to her.
I hope you have learnt your lesson shaa.
You have a lot to learn as a company director before the company goes down under you

I feel sorry for the company that hired your type as a director. I can't figure it out how a director would leave his busy schedule both private and official and travel to a subordinate's village. Even if it's just 10km from the office. If indeed this happened, you must be a person of very low self esteem, asking the secretary out, and her refusal threw you of balance, thinking someone else must be fucking her whenever she's not in the office. That's the reason you started acting FBI, KGB and MOSSAD around her. You even sent the video you made to her (Errand boy >: grin).
Guy wake up.

@concho, your company paid her for thos things. If she refuses to drop the items, then she could be sued for the money paid to her as salary during the periods of when those works were being made, Also extra damages for the cost implication of whatever delays her actions of not dropping them on time could have cost the company as well as the cost of the court case for an issue that should not have even gotten to court.

However, I'll advice you start with the cheaper and time saving method before heading to court. Call and talk to her.

When I took over as a director in our company , I noticed that the company’s Secretary is a chronic liar

Most excuses she gives to avoid coming to work always seem like lies to me . But I couldn’t confront her since I don’t have proves .

Today her mum is very sick, tomorrow her dad is about dying .

I also noticed that she doesn’t do her jobs ( financial recordings ) . She is always sleeping at work and says she is sick when confronted .

We started looking for replacements , but I noticed also that she discourages everyone that wants to work .

On Thursday, she said her dad was dead and would be Buried on Saturday . I granted her a leave between Thursday and Saturday and I conclude that I must find her village and attend the burial without telling her .

On getting to her village , I discovered that there was no burial and the parents she constantly used as excuse died years ago

I sent her video I made in her village only for her to tell me that she won’t come to work again .

She handed nothing over to the company . She didn’t provide details of the transactions she did in the previous weeks .

I asked her details of the companies transactions during the Naira scarcity , she refused to come bring these things .

This resignation would take us one year backwards in other to sort her stuffs out. She handed over to no one

If I let her go free , other workers would emulate her .

How do I start nailing her please ??

There's a reason people give notice of resignation.

And there's a reason company tell outgoing staff "hand over every company property in your possession"

Use police and arrest her. Tell police she has some company confidential documents in her possession.

Is she proves stubborn, hit me up, let's solve it once and for all.

Meanwhile I have replacement for her if you stay in SE or SS

This is why people will rather employ proper business managers and/or get real HR personnel to manage staff related issues.

She has resigned. You can't arrest her for not handing over or not explaining things, she owes you no obligation.

Except you have evidence that she has stolen money or she has company property with her, you are effed.

Here is a small advice. Go meet her, offer her the job back as a contract staff and sweeten the pot with a raise, if not, good luck getting the information you need

Please DON'T take this advice

Please, what kind of company are you guys running. So I see here are bunch of incompetent fellows.
You as a manager is so weak to manage your staff. You're as incompetent as your do called company's secretary.

So am incompetent secretary left a company and the company falls back 1yr backward. That means she was the pillar of that company and she has bn the one keeping you going.

Oga, you don't even know a single thing she does on her desk. You do not even understand how to prepare the reports she do submit to you, so what are you going to tell the police if you go ahead to arrest her.

Are you going to tell them to compel the girl to continue working with your company?
Are you going to tell them she stole from the company when you cannot interpret her report very well or computer the outstanding report to know the true financial status of the company.

You even had the time to stalk the lady. Ina dey try ooo. This is against work ethics unless she's a staff you're conducting background check on. This is done at the beginning of employment not because you want to check if excuse request you've granted a staff is true or not.

I see people commenting here out of sheer ignorance. Op, if you story is true, you have every right to go ahead and arrest the lady for breach of (employment) contract provide:

1. Did the company gave her employment letter when she was employed?

2. If yes, what does the letter (and by extension) the staff handbook say about staff resignation process?

3. If you see that the secretary did not follow the resignation process as stated in (2) above then you can sue her for breach of contract.

4. If you're able to achieve the (3) above, then you can demand for those records/ information that you're seeking for from her as part of condition for accepting her resignation legitly.

Everything stated in staff employment letter is not there for reading sake it's law binding. That is why it is called employment contract. But, where there is no employment letter, please the lady in question is gone for good! S'ope Otilo

Are there no business systems set in place to curb such excesses? What's your hr policy for staff looking to resign ?none ? Or it's just a one man business ?

As a business owner, you don't rely on people's honesty in order to get things done, you set up clear processes and guidelines that guide every employee in the discharge of their duties. You can't be begging someone to come handover properly if it was clearly stated in your employee handbook.

You are not telling the truth, did you fu***k/had an affair with her or not?

You granted her leave between Thursday to Saturday without going through record book?

Supposing she really wanted to go for her parent burial, is it Thursday to Saturday (2 days) you would given her to attend her parent burial because she's a secretary to your company?

And for you to gave her only 2 days leave to attend her parent burial, shows that your company don't have fresh air or off days for workers there.

How much was her salary?

All you have said here will take atleast 2 years of legal time whike the company is in immediate wahala as they do not have the records.

He failed to manage the situation well. How come no one noticed she was not documenting these transactions? Or no one was vetting them.

The cheaper, faster and easier thing to do is to dangle a carrot in front of her. She has won this round and he needs to acknowledge that

She has not stolen (no proof)

She has not taken properties belonging to the company

She simply resigned her job. If the company and director didn't think it was important to have records of payments, they are in trouble. Huge one
