What can an employer do if an employee experiences till shortages or accepts bad checks?
A. Employers should communicate policies and procedures clearly to employees. Employees who fail to follow procedures may be subject to disciplinary action. It is unwise to assume that an employee has been dishonest; however, discipline up to and including termination may be taken if an employee does not follow policies. The violations could be characterized as “failure to balance till accurately,” or “failure to follow company policy requiring appropriate identification when accepting checks.
