[QUOTE="UPS Lifer, post: 273306, member: 9789"] In regards to lunches. My career was in California. There are state law ramifications. Laws take precedent over the contract. If the company can prove monetary gain than it becomes a "cardinal offense". if not, then to get fired - you have to be trained, w/w, warned - in other words, you have to go through the steps of discipline. You can get by with "it was a mistake" once but if it happens consistently, nobody will buy that it was an accounting error! LOL! Mikeb is right - you need to observe the employee unless they copt to it. I would make sure I had a witness also to make it stick. BUT, something like this should never get to this stage. Unless I thought the person was a thief, I would never personally take this approach. Your credibility with your people goes right down the tube if you do stuff like this. I can tell you that I used to go out on a driver's route and "steal" the vehicle if he/she left the keys in the ignition, (or steal packages if the bulkhead was left open)! But my intent was to get the driver's attention. I never disciplined a driver for this. One time watching your package car drive away is all that was needed!!!! [/QUOTE]
