Employee Theft Investigation

An employee theft investigation should be conducted whenever employee theft is suspected. We have seen many business owners that hesitate or simply bury their head in the sand and pretend that theft is not occurring or will go away. Over the years the University of Florida study routinely shows that employee theft accounts for approximately 48% of business losses.

The fact is that if left unchecked employee theft will escalate. If the employee got away with it the first time they will continue to steal. Those who do not attack the issue normally will not prosper. We have even seen businesses tolerate employee theft because they do not want to lose an “important or trusted” employee. That begs the question how important or trusted is that person who is stealing? Leaving this person in place is business suicide.  We have recently conducting an employee theft investigation of a person who has stolen hundreds of thousands of dollars and was not terminated because the business owner was afraid to let this “important” person go.

No one is that important to a business that employee theft should be ignored. An employee theft investigation is normally a fast simple investigation. Go to the police? No, most law enforcement agencies do not have the expertise or time to do a proper investigation. Use an experienced LP Investigator.
