Bizquiz: Can you spot employee theft?

How familiar are you with veterinary employee theft and strategies for addressing it? Test yourself.

Correct answer: B

Cool down, collect yourself and proceed calmly. The fallout from an emotional confrontation can be serious and far-reaching. Schedule a formal meeting with the employee and a third party, whose role it is to monitor the conversation. Speak with the practice's attorney before the meeting. Based on the seriousness of the situation and the advice of your attorney, it may be advisable to have your attorney, the police or security present.
