jocstrap 8 Posted December 5, 2008 Can you change the combo on the safe? No, but I think I'm going to have the night people count the money before they put it in the safe, then have her count the money in the morning. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Eagles Green 34 Posted December 5, 2008 City subsidies baby - local tax dollars to the tone of 240k annually to pay our bills. We don't sell racquets, stringing is #1 then only little things like grips, visors, bags, and such for sale. Cash is her thing. Ok....So she isn't the only one stealing.

TheNewGirl 1,055 Posted December 5, 2008 No, but I think I'm going to have the night people count the money before they put it in the safe, then have her count the money in the morning. You need to have them write down and initial IN PEN the dollar amount they counted, and have two people do it. Don't tell her about this until she's counting it...'Oh by the way, can you initial on here and write the amount?" If she says it's off, tell her to leave it and that you will count it yourself or something. There is totally a process of checks and balances that you need to do here. Sure, hiring someone new might be the suck, but you're losing money, and that's not a good thing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Snoopy1 0 Posted December 5, 2008 My only suggestion would either be the register with the tapes that you have proof of...or you make sure that she counts in double custody...someone else ALWAYS there counting it with her. I'm actually still trying to figure this out. 20 years ago in HS, the gas station I worked at produced register tapes. You could subtotal any time during the day and balance out the drawer. At the end of the day you totaled it and cleared it for the next day. I don't understand how her throwing out some reciepts allows her to get away with this. However, she has been apparently throwing away $30 worth of receipts and taking that cash. Oh, it all still works out when she is done. She just doesn't know I've been counting before here. Because the subs and totals would not be affected-the register would be 30 bucks short. Don't know jocs situation entirely and don't want to belittle him, but from what I"m reading it sounds like whoever trained him and he himself don't fully understand how use their cash registers correctly.

Yeah, I don't get that either. When you close out the reg "Z report" it gives you the drawer total. If she is voiding out receipts, then that would also be printed in the report. Unless they are only using a cash drawer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Unless they are only using a cash drawer. 5:30 and 7:30 our when our league matches begin, the drawer stays open as 75 people throw $5.00 to us. It's just as easy to put $10 in the drawer without ringing up the receipt. What good is the "z" report when court fees are rung up to begin with? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RLLD 3,519 Posted December 5, 2008 She would not have to do this if she was smart enough not to buy that over priced house On the contrary, she is only seeking to maximize her profit, and as such under the strike/gutter rule, she should be allowed to take any action to derive as much profit as possible since profit is the only factor one should use when making financial decisions.

No offense, but that's a flawed system and it's not surprising that you've run into trouble. You've eliminated the safeguards. On top of that, if you fire her, where's your real proof she's stealing---your word. You: Yeah, judge, I counted the money and later it wasn't the same. Her: That's cause he took it. Again I'm not trying to belittle you, I've been in your situation and was able to fire said employee cause I absolutely had rock solid proof. And firing someone for theft-you better be 100%, or you're goingn to be focked if they file a complaint. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RLLD 3,519 Posted December 5, 2008 FYP Much like selling a home for twice its actual value, this person was merely adding a surcharge on to work completed, simply maximizing profit, and after all there is nothing wrong with maximizing profit, no matter who it hurts. Chase argues that Percudani and other parties are responsible for any fraudulent conduct, that Chase was uninvolved and unaware of Percudani's actions. But the judge ruled Chase applied special rules to approve loans for Percudani-built homes — different from the rules Chase applied to all other loans — by allowing Percudani to collect rent payments from those buyers and gradually build buyer down payments through a program that deviated from generally accepted industry lending practices. Percudani promised to pay the buyers' rents while applying some of the payments toward an eventual home purchase. "The jury could conclude that Chase facilitated Percudani's alleged mortgage scheme through these inappropriate lending practices," the judge wrote. Rink The inference is clear, if you helped someone buy or sell for fraudulent prices, you can be prosecuted, and that is awesome. I love the potential for this one, wouldn't it be fantastic if the government could prosecute anyone who sold homes for bullsh!t/inflated prices? I think so.... oops, i forgot, so long as you think you deserve unreasonable profits, well, you are justified to pursue them regardless of the potential consequences, thank you Mr. Skilling, i mean....strike Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jerryskids 5,311 Posted December 5, 2008 Dood, put a video camera in there and catch her on tape. Otherwise it is he said/she said and you are focked. Also as others have said, your system sucks, you might want to change that. Also, she may be hard to replace, but she is a clepto. I don't see how you can trust her to manage any part of your business. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jocstrap 8 Posted December 5, 2008 the maintenance crew covers the phone when she takes her ciggy break - there is a chance she's not the culprit. I did not put the blame on anyone. Merly stated that I've been counting the money, and there was $30 missing from yesterday's deposit and some in the recent past. I'm adding a camera over the register, having my night supervisor count the money, sign and seal the envelope, and my day supervisor will confirm the exact amount. See if the sh!t works. They all now know the Strapper is watching like a hawk Gawd you guys are smart. Now I just need some financial advice from RLLD Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ERZER 0 Posted December 23, 2008 Hard to replace is my concern - I like what your dad says I'd say she must be in dire straights with the economy and/or as others say, she thinks you are stupid. Going with the economy theme, you should be able to find someone to replace her. So your choice, but I'd say 1) Fire her and if she whines, threaten to report her to the police 2) Try to get physical compensation; in which case she'll continue to steal or black mail you or report you/sue you for everything you got 3) ask her if she got a raise, would she give you one and stop stealing; see 2) above for risks 4) ask her if she would like a raise to help her out or if she would like for you to report her to the police; which by the way, she would have to stop stealing If you go with either 1) or 4), you better make sure you have a reliable witness. I'd reco 4) as it let's her know you are willing to help her and she may just over time become the best employee or at least give you some holiday trim down the line Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
