Gambler Put to Jail for Stealing

As the credit crunch looms over all of our heads, people are looking for extra ways to make money. But what gambling addict Chris Proudfoot has done is definitely not the way forwards. Chris was jailed for forty months yesterday after stealing almost one million pound from his employees. 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 bad thing to do, you really have to winder about the business. 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) Check references, a lot of employees take reference details but never bother in checking them or if they do send it off once they never bother chasing them up. References are needed for a reason. Try to also get some character references from the people in question.

2) Try a 7 day test period? This would efficiently let you know if they are good.

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.
