When I looked at the sales reports today, I noticed $50 worth of discounts. I matched the transaction time with the CCTV and caught her red handed applying all the discounts. $50 is a lot to us since this is 20% of our average daily sales.
I have no choice but to fire her now. Business is slow and we’re also a new business. Has anyone dealt with this in the past and am I legally allowed to deduct this from her final paycheck (Texas)? I know Reddit is the last place to go to for legal advice.
Did you have a rule on discounts? our rule was they cannot give discounts.
I’ve unfortunately had multiple employees steal money in different ways … my thoughts are it’s like mice in the house… if you see 1, you can bet there’s more! You can choose to tell yourself it was a one time thing, once the trust is gone you’ll always feel like somethings suspicious and be looking for dishonest things happening behind your back.
