Dealing with weirdness in the office is never easy, but it\u2019s essential to running a successful company. \u201cHuman resources problems that get ignored have a really nasty habit of not going away,\u201d says Margaret Hart Edwards, a shareholder at employment law firm Littler Mendelson.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n<\/strong>Unfortunately, every employer will have employees who secretly take from the company. In fact, hidden employee fraud filches 7 percent of a company\u2019s revenue every year, according to the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners. \u201cThe dollars lost to fraud can grow quickly,\u201d says Tracy Coenen, a forensic accountant and the author of Essentials of Corporate Fraud<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Employee pilfering increases in tough times, when an employee might take home a roll of paper towels or buy unnecessary office supplies just to get a free $20 coffee card. Coenen suggests writing a clear fraud policy that educates employees about what\u2019s unacceptable.<\/p>\n

For larger cases of fraud, Coenen advises small-business employers to contact a fraud investigator and an employment attorney for legal advice. \u201cThe worst thing a company can do,\u201d she says, \u201cis ignore a fraud problem.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
