I am faced with a tricky situation and would like your opinion on this.
A department head has highlighted that one of his team member has taken money from him citing family crisis & urgency. Because it was weekend and petty cash was not possible at such short notice, Department head helped the employee with cash. However, it turns out that employee is a habitual defaulter and keeps asking money from other people in office also. We have also received calls from banks/collection agencies for this employee against default.
The department head has written complaint against him citing professional relationship at work might suffer and asked HR to take action. This employee (defaulter)had recently won performer of the month award too.
What kind of action would you take in such a case? I have already given this employee verbal warning. However, his behavior does not seem to change. How to resolve the situation.
