Should I Sack My Staff For Stealing #500:00? by adollyboy(op): 2:24pm On Jul 27, 2017
Two of my staff rendered the company service to a client this morning.They however did not remit the #500 being cost of service rendered.Unfortunately,they were caught.Right now am thinking of sacking them to serve as deterrence to others.Will my action be justified looking at the amount involved?

yes! you will be justified. sack them. today they stole N500, tomorrow they might steal N500,000. Be swift and decisive. Take action against them to deter others.

Make sure u sack them, I suggest u make a policy that at the end of every year, anyone caught in fraud will have his/her full details including name, picture along with the persons crime published in several national dailies, also letters should b sent to prospective employers , warning them of the dangers of employing that fraudulent employee......with such policy in place, no employee will partake in fraud unless the person doesn't like himself.. ....also make them provide 3 guarantors at point of employment in case they steal money and run away...maybe with intention of starting their business......and after sacking and retrieving the stolen funds, they should be handed over to the EFCC........also ensure that a whistle blowing mechanism is in place

Do not sack them,

Technically and ideally, 'cost of service' should go to the staff who rendered the service to the customer.

So it's you who is short-changing them.

500 is very negligible, it will be heartless of you to sack them.
The country is hard and everybody dey find small place where dem fit chop from.

I'm sure if you put yourself in their shoes, you'd see you'd have stolen more, those staffs of yours have a good heart if that's all they stole.

I understand it might be hard for you to overlook it, and you want to send a strong signal to other staff, but please just listen to 'Holy Pass' by Tuface and take a cold bottle of Hero beer; you'd be fine.

If you want this to stop, just increase their pay and give them more incentives.

Remember to weigh their contributions to company and their absence
It time Nigeria realizes that the company growth is collective effect of their staff then they will be able to grow more..

It hard to get most productive people

It's like your business is for father Xmas if you are still asking this que. U may tender mercy if your business has enough cushion to withstand subsequent stealing behind your back

Someone was sacked in my office because of #100

Sack those kleptos.

They might have been stealing from you and you failed to catch them, now you do, just sack them already.
Re: Should I Sack My Staff For Stealing #500:00? by Camlot000007: 7:33am On Jul 28, 2017
Sacking them will only make them more brutal, talk to them, considering the amount involve one will agree they might have been hungry
Re: Should I Sack My Staff For Stealing #500:00? by Nobody: 7:33am On Jul 28, 2017
By all means, please do. Some people will soon come to tell you to sit them down and talk to them.

Well, at the end of the day, the decision simply lies with you
Re: Should I Sack My Staff For Stealing #500:00? by Youngdream1: 7:33am On Jul 28, 2017

Exactly, a small thief soon emboldens to be a big one. Though it sounds cruel because of the amount involved, but theft is theft, or if the sack sounds too cruel to you, you can suspend them and deduct the said amount from their salaries. But ensure that a punishment is handed down and make a public show of it(within the workplace of course) to deter others.
Re: Should I Sack My Staff For Stealing #500:00? by mascot87(m): 7:33am On Jul 28, 2017
Please just suspend them for like 2 weeks. That will teach them a lesson
Re: Should I Sack My Staff For Stealing #500:00? by policy12: 7:34am On Jul 28, 2017
Broz abeg don't sack them, rather give them a serious warning and worst may be 2weeks suspension without pay. Believe me they will never indulge in such again.

Oya talk your rubbish..

Back to your question op. Please sack them! That's how it starts.. They should serve as a lesson to other staffs. If you fail to act on this, there's a huge probability that they'd steal something worth more than the first #500 thinking you wouldn't take an action - just like the first.

Lastly, PLEASE SACK THEM!

Shalom

Before you sack them ask yourself there questions

*do you think their salary is enough for them.
and
* lastly DO YOU PAY THEM WHEN THE TIME IS DUE?

Other staff are watching how you'll handle these thieving staff. You should make the other staff know that there are consequences for disloyalty.

Don't sack them but punish them serverly and put them on survelliance, if u watch yourself ur not too perfect..u have erred in one way or the other...Sin is Sin remember... So give them the last chance...they might end up being the best employees...rather than the new one u will employ...The Devil u know is better than the Angel u just met
