Just face him and tell him the truth, tell him you know of his doings and advise him to stop, if he doesn't stop fire him.
Business comes first, I won't even tolerate cheating from my own blood relations talk of an in law.

You have two options concern this situation, it's either you move your relative to another arms of the business or you lay him off as soon as possible.

One thing I want to you know is that no matter how hard you try it cover for your relative, people will still not be satisfied.

You business will be greatly affected if your relative keep stealing and this can have a ripple effects on you and your immediate family.
 
I Learned the sentence and advice "reprove betimes with sharpness" from a church scripture. Inlaw, friendship, acquaintances, or other family ties shouldn't be entertained in Business. You should treat the situation you now face the same way you'd treat it if that was someone you employed and didn't have any ties with. Take this decisions now and you'd be grateful you did. Do it later and you will definitely blame yourself. Business is strictly business.
 
Managing an inlaw working under your organization is not easy at all. It requires wisdom. If the organization seems not to need his/her service due to some atrocities he might have committed, all you need to do is to keep inlaw away from your business. Search for a new job for him, which is not under your organization.

This will put your reputation in jeopardy by the time he takes his stealing habits over there. The best would be to either keep him from funds in a different department or fire him with no ties whatsoever.
 
The best business decision will be to sack the individual and even make him return the money , however to keep the peace you can just sack him or tell the individual to resign or you take the matter to the law enforcement agents.
 
How long will you cope with it, Stealing is a crime irrespective of the family ties you have with such person you shouldn't tolerate it, if he value the ties he wouldn't be stealing from you, you had better lay him off, else it might start affecting your business.
 
That's the issue with involving family members in business, in order to do such you have to make sure that they are competent enough to handle the business in question.
And also, that business is supposed to be seen as your future, if it crashes how do you cater for your family? So if a family member tries to sabotage your business, you have to politely lay whoever it is down.
 
One of the things that kills business is harboring an incompetent or dishonest employee because of relationship, but his/her bad attitude will definitely ruboff on the others and you end up having more problems than you can handle, that's why it's very important to nib any bad influence on time. Family or not, stealing is the lowest of lows, the earlier you let him/her go the better.
 
One of my inlaw I employed into my organization is trying to rip me off and I dont want to lay him off just because of the family relationship between us.
First of all i am totally against to hire any relative in our offices,but if you hired and he steel in ur organization and u couldn't say and ask u should react with him like a friend and trying to get knows about their weaknesses and emphasize him by your good behavior so that he will impressed and will never do again.
 
It is very important that your business must be first before other things in your life, I want you to know that there are no relationship in business, you must take your business serious than anything else.
 
When one have an in law that steals and they are into business together, the business owner must be very careful and cautious of such in law. The in law should not be associated with financial records and money and the activities of the inlaw must be dully notified.

Place someone above the person and watch how such useless behavior will reduce. This is not to say that it will disappear overnight, but at least, with proper monitoring, there is going to be a lot of changes recorded as long as you warn the supervisor to keep the eyes on them.
 
Ouch, that is very similar to what I know. A nephew and his wife were hired to work in a gas station owned by my nephew's father and step-mother. After a month the father found out that his son and wife were stealing the products in the auto supply store of the gas station. When the father talked to me I advised him to terminate his son and daughter-in-law. Stealing is a big sin that should not be tolerated.
 
You can not manage what can not be managed, you can never manage an in-law that seal, the best thing you can do is sack him from work, sealing is a very bad character than can not be managed and if he or is your in-law that is a bigger issue, but as a business owner to prevent your business from running down you have to take the hard decision by reliefing him from duty.
 
Collect some clues and evidence to show it in the family because it may damage your business soon so do make him understand personally and if he did not understand than take an action about his work that he is doing some wrong things in the business .
We should not involve family member in business specially inlaws .
 
The best thing to do here is to confront the person and if he refuse to change you fire him/her. One thing I’ll advise every entrepreneur to do is not to appoint any relatives in his/her firm because the treatment you’ll give to them will be different with the once you give to others no matter how you want to put it.
 
Firstly i do not like the idea of employing family members in your business. Both are two separate entities and should be treated as such. Family members tend to always bring business down in all ways. They always wanna do things their own way contrary to the business owner belief system or point of view. And if they do something wrong they always have a justification for it and see you as a bad person if you tell them about it.
 
Firstly, the business of business is business. one must not forget that! Most in-laws like to play around with their job just because of the relationship between you two, buy so I will advice you make a rigid principle/rules relating to business law, so as to keep them focus on the job and inturn encourage a smooth relationship.
 
Business is business regardless of who the person is we should always learn to set our record straight when something that has to do with money is involved. That is the reason why we have to avoid any form of familiarity when employing staff for our business. If your inlaw will be the downfall of your business, you must sack him immediately without fear or favour.
