An employee that commits actions that are illegal needs to be approached right away. Illegal behavior and actions should never be permitted and should be stopped once they are detected. Whether the employee’s actions were intentional or accidental due to ignorance, the employee must know that it is unacceptable. This type of behavior is not only harmful to the employee, but to the other employees and the company as a whole. The employee will need extra coaching or meetings to work out an alternate plan of action and explain why their behavior was a poor choice for them.
Tips:
- Provide additional coaching and meetings
- Reference company policies that support your actions
- Follow with appropriate consequences
