Crooks at the Company Party. Employee theft, a sobering thought.

Does your company have a few bad seeds?

It doesn't take much or too many unsavory employees to spoil it for the rest of us. Employee theft and employee fraud costs this country billions of dollars annually.

If you believe or if you know that there are bad apples in your company, the worst thing you can do is to let it slide in the hopes that the situation will work itself out, or the rogue employee or employees with somehow stop their behavior.

The sooner you address the issues with employees the better it is for morale and the business in general. If you need to have employees interviewed to discover who is responsible for the problems facing the company, you should consider a licensed private investigator.

Background Check Employees

One of the best proactive tools available to an employer is to have an in-depth background check on an employee. If this is done before you hire the person you can save yourself grief and expense.

• If the person is already in the company and something is not right, a complete background check can reveal new information that has been made available. You can see whether they work for or own another company in conflict with their responsibilities at your business.

• You can find out whether they have been convicted of crimes or if they have civil cases on file. There are many areas searched in a complete background check. If we determine the employee lied on their application based on our findings and interview process, this is in itself grounds for termination.
