Gambling Addict Sent to Jail for Stealing

As the financial crisis goes into full swing, lots of people are looking for ways to earn a little bit extra. But the stupid thing that Chris Proudfoot has done is definatley not the way to go. Chris was sent to jail for 3 years after stealing just below £1 million. He worked as a book keeper and it is said that over a three year period he took money to pay back debts on his credit cards which were caused by online poker, roulette and overall gambling. The police department are still searching for this.

Although this was a bad thing to do you may have to wonder about the company in question. How can they not realise that one million has gone missing are they really making that much? Secondly why was this person not checked in full to see whether or not he has a bad habit? I have put together a few tips that employees can use as a checklist so this does not occur.

1) You should fully check references, do not just get their details and then forget about it. References were invented for a purpose. Try to also get some character references from the people in question.

2) Trial, I know we have three month probationary periods, but what about giving employees week trials? This would promptly let you know if they are hiding anything bad.

3) Check their credit score and personal history, before you employ them get them to sign and agreement where you are allowed to check their credit score. A credit score shows a lot about people's personalities, would you really want to employ some one that has bankruptcies and years worth of missed payments against them. Maybe if the company in question check his they would of seen he is in debt.
