Gambling Addict Sent 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. The authorities have yet to recover this.

Although this was a bad thing to do, you really have to winder about the business. How can they not notice someone has taken £1 million pounds from them are they really making that much? Next all I can say is why was this person not scanned in full to see whether or not he had a bad habit? I have combiled a checklist that will help employees.

1) You should fully check references, do not just get their details and then forget about it. References were invented for a purpose. 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) 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 company in question check his they would of seen he is in debt.
