Have you ever wondered what your employees are doing when you’re not around?
Has your cash register ever been short or has inventory ever seemingly disappeared?
Owning your own business can be a wonderful experience and is the dream of many people. Before you hire anyone to work for you, consider these facts:

If these facts are scary, it’s because they should be. There are a lot of dishonest people out there who feel like they are entitled to take money out of your pocket. For many it’s because they have an idea in their head that because you own a business you must be rich so you won’t notice a few dollars missing here and there. For others it’s sadly out of necessity because they simply can’t afford to feed their families.
The good news is there is something you can do to drastically reduce the odds of employee theft occurring in your business. The even better news is that it will not cost you much when compared to the benefits.
