How can a business owner handle dishonest employees?

[Emmy]

Only if you know or have the skills on how to outsmart or play along with dishonest employees would a business owner keeps them in his company. The better way is to sack them because they would just always give you tough time.

In my opinion the best way is to terminate their appointment because they will always commit such offense

Terminating the appointment of a dishonest employee is the best solution but before you terminate their appointment, you should have first sanctioned them once or twice.

The first way to not being swindled or be at a loss is that you have a proper knowledge of the business you're venturing into.
A lot of people and business owners are not grounded in their businesses (you don't need to know all but having a fair idea is very important)

This is very true as the knowledge of a business is very quiet important for anyone that want to succeed in that business because the business will never become successful if the owner of the business is not that knowledgeable about the business that he or she want to start up.

What i did to every dishonest employer is to warn him about what he or she is doing that is not good of they change fine but if they refused i just send them a way

Though it may be difficult to really judge someone as being dishonest during the interview stage. But if one discovers this early, the best thing to pay him off lest he influences other workers.

If you have zero tolerance policy against dishonesty, I think you can easily handle dishonest employees. You need to take strict measures to penalize doshnest employee.

The best way for an owner to handle dishonest employees is to terminate them. To do so, you must follow up with the employee according to the signed contract. Disrespect is grounds for dismissal and there are countless offenses where the law supports the owner.

You are correct. Dishonest employees should be immediately terminated. But first you have to investigate according to their violation. It's because they can accuse you of illegal dismissal if the offense is not worthy of dismissal.

The first rule of business is to make your business as your first priority. You do t need to manage your business in a way to favour someone else, you need to sack any worker that is not meeting up with your requirement. You need to be up and running to manage a business

Exactly, that is why I said that it should be followed up. In my job, we first call him/her attention verbally, and if he/she continues to misbehave, we do it in writing. When the employee does not correct himself, a file is opened so that he can be fired.

I completely agree with you because generally if someone is caught doing something like cheating within a business the behaviour could continue into the future and even if it stops there is never going to be complete trust with that employee which can affect the business dynamic.

Employees should understand that trust is an important thing. If an employer loses trust, then you can lose your good position in the eyes of the employer. This is why employees need to be honest always and never do something that would cause distrust.

This is just the simple truth about it all, as a worker, be transparent and honest with all your dealings, then you would be in the good books of your employer.

If a business was liquidated due to the illicit act of the employees, the fault is from the business owner. How could a business owner fall into such a pitiful situation without taking a drastic or proactive steps. The fault is from the business owner. I just can't sit and watch an employee ruin my business.

Is not that easy to handle dishonest employees in your business but you need to set good example if he/ she can change and become a good one.

If you are a business owner and you are faced with the choices in making a decision on how to handle one you have caught, you should not hesitate to fire that person if the misconduct is a grose one like stealing

Trust is also a very important thing when it comes to operating the business smoothly because if you do not have the trust of the owner of the business then you are unlikely to be given a lot of extra responsibility and this will severely stunt your growth within the company.

Trust is very important and unfortunately many employees lose the trust when they do something wrong. Employees should never lose the trust because if the employer trusts you, you are morally responsible for all of your action and it is unethical to do something wrong when you are at the job.

The best way you can handle dishonest employees is to get them sacked because they will definitely ruin your business if you don't take proactive measures.

This is easy and simple. Instead of you looking for a way to handle them, just get raid of them to avoid you stressing yourself too much in looking for ways to deal with them.

 

[tyrim88]

The only way you can handle dishonest employee is by giving them hard sanction, so that they won't dare try being dishonest again, dishonesty can ruin and damage the image of the business, so heavy sanction is the way forward.

That measure could be a deterant to erring employees to furstall any future event,but what about placing emphasis on good work ethics and professional behaviour on the job,as this will go a long way to instill discipline bsaed on laid down rules.

In setting up a business there should be controll measures put in place to prevent stealing,fraud and the likes by the employee. For instance a business that is selling a commodity should put in place control measure that when a customer is to purchase an item the person that will collect the money is not the same person to release the goods to the customer so that each employee is responsible for their duties.
