More and More on Employee Theft
I was chasing down a problem with a system this week and saw something that looked like it could be theft. An employee had worked alone on a Saturday and ran a return on a non-stocking item. The item was a special order and it was not in their Store POS System's inventory. It was almost $100 so it was not a trivial amount. The Store POS System held all of the invoices run in the last 7 years so it was easy to search all previous invoices over the last 7 years for that part number. That part number had not been sold in the last 7 years. The item was not in their Store POS System's inventory so it would not show up as missing if they did a store inventory. That return would have slipped through the system without a hitch if there hadn't of been an error in setting up the system that caused that invoice to be tagged as a problem. We corrected the error in the system setup. I then talked with the manager and he allowed as how it could be an employee error or theft. They were going to find out if that special order was a real item.Labels: employee theft, Store POS System
