I will tell the truth.

I will only allow righteous anger.

I will be honest at work and generous with others.

75% of all employees admit to stealing at least once from their employer.

Employees cause up to 90% of all significant theft losses

It’s estimated that internal theft costs U.S. Businesses up to $50 billion a year

Employers lose about 4.5 hours per week per employee due to employee time theft

Forms of time theft include late starts, early finishes, extended breaks, unauthorized overtime, and conducting personal activities at work
