Re: Expense Reports
Confidential
It has come to my attention that some of our sales reps are padding their expense reports. Aside from the financial implications, the ethical implications are unnerving.
I believe this is an issue which needs to be addressed. If this is happening with my team of sales reps, I can only imagine it is happening with other teams.
Perhaps it is in our best interest to investigate the issue in an attempt to discover why this might be occurring. Perhaps the sales reps are feeling under paid or otherwise unrecognized for their work. If this is the case, the issue might be resolved through negotiation. An employee who feels underpaid or underappreciated could easily (though not rightfully) rationalize this type of behavior.
However, if this is occurring due to “crowd mentality” or as an exploitation of a blind spot then I believe the sources need to be discovered and addressed.
This could undermine the ethical values which Yount has worked so hard to achieve.
Please advise.
