Dealing with dishonesty: the best policy
Article Abstract:
A company's security officers do not have the privileges of the police and, therefore, should not be expected to act as such when investigating offences of suspected dishonesty of employees. To ensure that investigations of staff dishonesty are in keeping with the law, companies should integrate the requirements of criminal law and those of employment law. Unfamiliarity with the principles governing such investigations could endanger a potential court case through faulty procedure. In the UK, it is essential to consider the applicability of the Police and Criminal Evidence Act 1984 to commercial investigators. A company's security officers and human resources professionals can team up to eradicate dishonesty in the workplace, while at the same time respecting the rights and interests of offenders. This can be done by developing personnel policies and procedures that are compatible with those of the security function.
