Combating employee dishonesty
Article Abstract:
There are four main techniques to screen dishonest employees from an organization: written tests, polygraphs, background checks, and employment interviews. Lie detector tests are illegal or restricted in 34 states. Written tests are inexpensive, but results should be validated by a qualified professional. Background checks and interviews are very effective. It is important to stay within the guidelines of government regulations with regard to discrimination. Employers can screen for drug and alcohol abuse. Some dishonest people may get through the screening process, however. Detecting a dishonest employee within the organization may be accomplished by heeding these danger signs: employees who spend beyond their means; employees frequently out of their work area; inventory shortages; mysterious errors in customer bills; and employees who socialize with suppliers' employees.
