ForumsManaging Employees and HR

Great question. You are in business and part of running a business is handling employees.
It would help to know more, like how many employees have access to the cash register??
How much money is missing?? Are we talking nickels and dimes or larger sums??
What is the background of this new employee?? Is the employee use to handling money
and making change or is this a new situation for the employee.
How is the register on days that the new employee is off??
Another thought - -Does the register automatically respond with the change amount??
Lastly if you really suspect that the shortages are related to the new hire, a pep talk or
a warning that you are aware of the shortage might be in order.
Good luck, LUCKIEST

Ever since I can remember, our family business has always counted and balanced the cash in the register near the end of every day and this activity is visible to all employees. We've never had an issue with a short register and we've had lots of different employees over the years, so you may curtail the issue if your employees are simply aware that you monitor this daily.

Two words: Hidden Camera. That will eliminate any guessing as to who's doing what.

I don't think it's legal to have a hidden camera, is it? Why not have a camera that's hooked up to a monitor so everyone can see?
