James Nelsona year ago What things do I need to consider before giving my first employee a key to my retail store? I own a retail store and either my SO or I work there by ourselves each day. We just hired our first employee (YAY!) and the goal is to have her work one of the days by herself so my SO and I can finally have a day off together. She's been with us for a month and I am feeling ready to let her run shop on our slowest day of the week. The thing is-- I'm nervous! I'm pretty certain for operations she will be fine, I am just having trust issues.. worried about employee theft. She hasn't given me any reason to worry, it's just that we have multiple small higher-priced items that can easily be pocketed. Cash is also about 30% of the transactions. Is there anything I need to consider prior to giving her a key and leaving her alone? We do have cameras.. but there are blind spots unfortunately. What else? 01130
