Dear friends,
My company has garment stores in 3 states. For a few months, we have been facing a problem where employees, upon wanting to quit the company, take cash from store sales or engage in major conspiracies. To control this issue, we have implemented a policy of taking 4 blank cheques as security from every store employee, which will be returned upon their separation from the company. I would like to address the following points:
a) Can an employee take any legal action against us?
b) Can we take an employee to court if they commit fraud and do not have sufficient funds in their account to recover the losses incurred?
Please advise on the best course of action in such situations.
Thank you.
From India, Chandigarh

Dear Parminder,
Greetings of the day. Please check this thread and you can get another solution from this: https://www.citehr.com/37270-agreeme...heque-sec.html.
In addition to this, you can also deduct a fixed amount of salary (like 10% per month) for security purposes. This can help cover your losses if an employee leaves the company without notice period.
