Jealous of the bosses profits while being their best friend \u2013 stealing over $100k<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nThe common denominator in all these cases was the total trust placed on these employees by the company owners and the lack of audits. As mentioned in the article above, even when it might be plainly obvious to everyone else, often the owner does not want to face what might need to be done.<\/p>\n
The reality is that if the company makes a loss the bank will come after the company owners, and other staff members could lose their jobs due to one bad apple. Stolen money comes right off the bottom line and simple maths will determine how much income it takes to earn just to break even never mind making a profit.<\/p>\n
However, it\u2019s not all doom and gloom, quite often we are able to obtain repayment, even if it means getting other family to assist, and we have assisted in taking a mortgage over the offender\u2019s property.<\/p>\n

The next day I attended his office and by close of business had opened a can of worms leaving my mate crying in his office but having $100k recovered. The blatant dishonesty by his most valued employee of 7 years had to be seen to be believed.<\/p>\n
Paragon works for business owners, and we will do our utmost to save and recapture the company\u2019s hard earned income, to ensure job security for the other staff and to keep the morale high.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
