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

  • I don't think it matters in and of itself but I would be intrigued as to if there was any reason behind it - i.e. did they feel that their manager wouldn't be particularly sympathetic or understanding if it wasn't their own relative? Or (as a number of people have said) if time off is only allowed for certain relatives - if so, it might be worth having a look at that policy again with a more compassionate eye. If you're worried about people flouting it and 'going to a funeral' every other week, I'd deal with those people rather than those who would like a day to attend a family friend/partner's relative etc's funeral.
