Steps to Take when Confronting Employee Theft

Steps to Take when Confronting Employee Theft

Follow @NigeriaPI Employee theft is a huge problem. It can be as simple as a clerk at a store stealing from the cash register or taking money from customers and voiding the sale, to a more complicated theft such as employees falsifying their expense accounts or writing phony checks. Policy is key If you find an employee stealing, it’s important that you handle it carefully so you don’t expose your company to litigation. Make sure your company policy clearly covers both the topic and the repercussions. And make sure all your employees know the company policy. Be careful with words It’s better to accuse the employee of “violating company policy” or of a “cash handling violation” than accusing him or her of “theft”. Next thing Once you’ve investigated and concluded that an employee has been stealing, Make sure your evidence is strong. Video is preferred, but witnesses can also work. Gather facts and compile documentation; audit computer files, financial records; preserve evidence, such as documents, computer files and e-mails; and maintain a chain of custody to prove the evidence wasn’t tampered with. Document all steps and summarize your interviews. The investigative report may be important in the event of any subsequent legal action. Termination You will probably want to terminate the employee’s employment immediately. Make sure the method you use to document the termination follows your company policy and check to see if there are any issues that must also be addressed such as contracts, collective bargaining agreements, union representatives that need to be notified, etc Notify the police. If you have insurance covering employee theft, a police report will...
Steps to being successful in life

Steps to being successful in life

Follow @NigeriaPI No matter how old you are, where you’re from or what you do for a living, we all share something in common—a desire to be successful. Each person’s definition of success is different, however, as some may define success as being a loving and faithful spouse or a caring and responsible parent, while most people would equate success with wealth, fame, and power. We all want to achieve success so we could live a comfortable life—have financial freedom, drive a nice car, and live in a beautiful house. However, although success can be achieved, it does not come easy. There are one million and one steps to being successful but i will just give out five for today. No matter how hard the Nigerian economy is, corruption, embezzlement, bribery, theft is not the way out, find something tangible to do. BE RESOLUTE ABOUT BEING SUCCESSFUL You have to be determined about being successful, give it long hours, all the best in you, hard work, zeal to continue no matter the failure, you shouldn’t give up THINK BIG You can’t think randomly and expect to make a big difference, think higher than expected, carve a niche for yourself. think bigger than your capacity. INVEST IN YOUR PASSION Find what you love and do it, you have to do your job and not be paid for it, your passion. DON’T FEAR FAILURE Failure is part of your success story, it gives you the opportunity to do it again, this time re strategize and do it more brilliantly EVERY IDEA IS GREAT Many people discard so many ideas but you...

Ex-President Jonathan’s relative who was abducted with his uncle, found dead

Follow @NigeriaPI Mr. Samuel Oki, a nephew of former President Goodluck Jonathan, was today found dead in a creek in Otuoke community, Ogbia Local Government Area of Bayelsa State. The 35-year-old was reportedly kidnapped on Wednesday alongside the 72-year-old foster father of Jonathan, Chief Inengite Nitabai. It was learnt that some fishermen from the former President’s community in Otuoke, discovered Oki’s decomposing body floating on Otuoke river while fishing, two days after the abduction. Some  indigenes of the community said though many were not aware of Oki’s whereabouts during the abduction of Nitabai, the discovery of his body in the creek has, however, heightened their fears of Nitabai’s safety. Some community members claimed that the sound of gunshot heard during the abduction of the septuagenarian might have been targeted at the deceased. A community source, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, said “We are worried about the safety of our uncle, Chief Inengite Nitabai. The men that abducted them have killed Oki and we pray they don’t touch our uncle.” This is the second time Nitabai has been kidnapped. He was first kidnapped On February 28, 2014 and later freed by security forces on March 10, 2014. Source: Punch...

Man betrays friend by sleeping with his wife and killing him too

Follow @NigeriaPI A 40-year-old man, Lukman Jimoh, aka Oyeolorun, has been arrested by the Lagos State Police Command for allegedly killing his bosom friend, Remi Oloyede, akaOra. Jimoh reportedly cut off Oloyede’s ears and stabbed him in the neck and eyes during a fight on Monday on Adedoja Street, Mushin. Residents were said to have stayed away from the duo because they both wielded bottles. Oloyede died on the spot after losing much blood, while his corpse was deposited in a morgue in the state. Jimoh, who after the incident was taken to a clinic for medical attention due to the injuries he also sustained, was later arrested by policemen from the Alakara division. According to our source, the men fought over the claim by the deceased that his friend betrayed him by sleeping with his wife. A resident, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said the two men had been friends for a long time. She said: “Oyeolorun (Jimoh) and Ora (Oloyede) have been friends for a long time now. They were both living on this street before Oyeolorun relocated to Sango, Ogun State, where he is staying with his family. “But about three years ago, Oyeolorun allegedly had sexual relation with Ora’s wife and he was very angry about it. From that time, he started looking for a way to get back at him for betraying him. “To get even, he slept with Oyeolorun’s first wife, but Oyeolorun had already divorced the woman. Ora was still angry and seeking opportunity for a revenge.” A community member, Adewale Baloye, said people did not intervene because the duo were...
