Gambling Addict Takes Money

As the credit crunch looms over all of our heads, people are looking for extra ways to make money. But the stupid thing that Chris Proudfoot has done is definatley not the way to go. 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. The authorities have yet to recover this.

Although this was a terrible occurance, you have to wonder about the business in question. How can they not notice someone has taken £1 million pounds from them are they really making that much? Secondly why was this person not checked in full to see whether or not he has a bad approach? I have put together a helpful checklist for employees that will eliminate this type of problem.

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. You should be willing to also get and chase up some personal references.

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) Try to get permission 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.
