Employee Theft

Although it is not a pleasant topic to discuss, the fact is that theft by employees of small businesses totals nearly $40 billion in this country each year. Employee theft in theatres can take many forms, among them; thefts by recycling tickets or cups, falsifying voids & refunds, substituting concession products with their own stock or giving away concessions, altering business records or stealing time by improperly reporting hours worked. As hard as it is to believe that someone you hire to fill a trusted position in your theatre would actually take from you, it happens every day in all kinds of businesses, especially a cash business such as a theatre.

It is estimated that up to 75% of all employee theft goes unnoticed. Some security experts predict that up to 30% of the nation's workers will steal at some time in their career. Low wages, lack of salary increases, lack of supervision and working part-time make it even more tempting for employees to help themselves.
