The cash drawer is always short around $10.00 when a certain employee is working. We have no cameras and she opens alone in the mornings and has access to the cash. All employees use the same register and we only have 4 workers a day.
How do you catch an employee that you believe is steeling cash?
Without catching the thief "red handed" it will be difficult. You mentioned that the "drawer is short" so you may already be using a POS system instead of a cash register (if you arent you can start there). Some other things to try besides camera %26amp; POS:
- Reconcile your cash drawer after every shift instead of at the end of day
- Work a shift with the offender and watch them when they don't think you are
- Enlist an employee the offender works with to watch him/her for you.
-Talk to them. Let them know you have noticed, see if anything changes.
- Set up a "decoy camera" to make the theif beleive they are being recorded.
Good luck!
Reply:Well, you could either install a camera (or just tell them you are and get one of those fake looking ones), or limit the register to one person using it at a time...and count it between employees.
Reply:report lt to your manager
Reply:If you have 4 people using the same register, there is no way to catch them and have it stick.
I would contact your local police department to see if they have any ideas that will help you. And your accountant. Stealing is a very high offense and you are wise to not just say that they're stealing--- cause you could end up in court for destroying their reputation.
Reply:set up a small camera,,you can get them the size of a pill now days and set it up so it shows the till,,,there has been shows over in oz,,how employees have been ripping thier bosses off so they set up camera's and they get caught on camera,,give the tape to police and they charge them with stealing,,,,and made to pay it all back,,,just a small camera,,but you have to set it up when the person is not around
