Gambling Addict Steals over 900K

As the financial crisis goes into full swing, lots of people are looking for ways to earn a little bit extra. But what gambling addict Chris Proudfoot has done is definitely not the way forwards. 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. Police have yet to recover this.

Although this was a terrible occurance, you have to wonder about the business in question. It amazes me how a company cannot notice that £1 million pounds has gone, are they really getting that much revenue? Secondly why was this person not checked in full to see whether or not he has a bad approach? 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 are their for a reason. You should definatley also try to get some personal references from the person.

2) Try a Trial, There are probationary periods, but what about trying a 7 day trial? This would quickly let you know how good or bad they are.

3) Before signing any contracts try to get permission off the potential employee to check their credit rating. 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 directors of the companies had check they would of seen his massive debts.
