I have an employee that is a very good worker, however, she skips out of work early the majority of the time when she thinks that I won't notice.
I have spoken to her about this already a few times, but it does not stop her from doing it. I have ways to track her when I'm not there if she's leaving early.
Since I am paying out of my pocket for her salary, I would think she would have some respect and listen to me. I really don't want to fire her since she is the best employee (which I praise her) I've had so far aside from this frequent leaving an hour early habit.
My idea is to grab her car keys while she is in the restroom (she leaves them right in the open on her desk), run out to her car and take my car club lock and place it on her steering wheel, with a note that says, please work your full hours, come back inside.
Then, when it is time for her to leave, I'll walk out with her and unlock the club from her car.
Do you think this will knock some sense into her?

I would just buy a cheap time clock and have employees puch in and out. everyone so you are not picking on anyone
If you buy one that totals weekly works you can explain that you have to authorize the overtime, but punching out early without your signature next to the day will be deduced from the weekly hours.
Flex time. allow employee to start a 1/2 earlier in case they have to pick up kids.
so the hours could be 7:30 to 5:00.
only allow an 8 hour day 7:30 to 4:30 or 8:00 to 5:00
no that will not stop her from leavin., but if you enter her car there could be legal problems of traspassing.
better idea is the time clock for everyone

You should realy look at the legal points first even if she is not on payroll she has rights but so do you is you can change her shift if not give her one last chance then fire her you have to be there to be a good employee

Sounds a bit excessive and obtrusive to me. Let her know she is not indespensible. It sounds like she is taking your praise of her work as an invitation to do whatever she wants. Give her an ultimatum. Tell her to work all her hours for you or work them somewhere else.

i think you are setting yourself up for legal action. while a fun idea to think about doing, you could end up being charged with unlawful entry or b & e.
better just document said early outs, and confront her with an ultimatum, one more and she's done, then stick to your guns. she will have no legal recourse if you've documented properly

no. I think that action is not professional.
What I would do is simply doc her check and when she asks you why, you tell her, "well you leave an hour early everyday."

a better solution would be to dock her pay for the 5 hours a week she is essentially STEALING from you

speaking as an independent minded sort, I would consider that way out of line. If she is your friend or something as well as your employeeeeeeee

If you're friendly with her and don't think she'd take offense, do it. Otherwise you might have a lawsuit on your hands.

Good idea. Try it and tell us how it turns out.

Why not just hit her where it hurts and dock her pay?
