Reason to Believe Dishonest Employee

Theresa Muir

Hi All

I hope you are all well

We have a situation were an employee has asked for time off to attend their Gran mother's funeral, to which they were granted, however, we have very good reason to believe that the funeral that they attending was actually her partners Gran mothers funeral - have any of you dealt with this sort of situation before?

Your thoughts would be greatly appreciated 

Regards

Theresa

  • For me it would depend on how good an employee they are usually, what the usual policy is for bereavement leave (if there is one) and possible reasons why someone would lie.

    e.g. in one of my last employers it was policy that only blood relatives and in-laws deaths qualified for any bereavement leave. Seemed crazy to think that I wouldn't have been able to go to my partner of 15 years grans funeral yet someone who had been with someone for 5 mins and had a whirlwind marriage would be eligible for paid time off for someone they might never have met.

    If they are normally a decent employee I'd probably file this in my "ooops I totally forgot about this issue" folder.
