Gambling Addict Takes Money
As the credit crunch looms over all of our heads, people are looking for extra ways to make money. But the stupid thing that Chris Proudfoot has done is definatley not the way to go. Chris was sent to jail for 3 years after stealing just below £1 million. He worked as a book keeper and it is said that over a three year period he took money to pay back debts on his credit cards which were caused by online poker, roulette and overall gambling. The authorities have yet to recover this.
Although this was a terrible occurance, you have to wonder about the business in question. How can they not realise that one million has gone missing are they really making that much? Secondly why was this person not checked in full to see whether or not he has a bad habit? I have put together a helpful checklist for employees that will eliminate this type of problem.
1) You should fully check references, do not just get their details and then forget about it. References are needed for a reason. Try to also get some character references from the people in question.
2) Trial, I know we have three month probationary periods, but what about giving employees week trials? This would efficiently let you know if they are good.
3) Check their credit score and personal history, before you employ them get them to sign and agreement where you are allowed to check their credit score. A credit score shows a lot about people's personalities, would you really want to employ some one that has bankruptcies and years worth of missed payments against them. Maybe if the company in question check his they would of seen he is in debt.
