Threats from ex-employee

[Indychick]

What is the name of your state? IN

I own a small retail shop, and I recently had to fire an employee. Yesterday I learned that the ex-employee had asked a current employee hide drugs in the back room of the store, so she could call the police and get my store shut down. I called the police for advice, and they said to make sure no one except employees had access to the back room. No kidding. Any other ideas on how to handle this situation would be much appreciated!

Thanks

who told you about the plot?

 

[Indychick]

I was told by the employee who was approached by the ex-employee.

 

[I AM ALWAYS LIABLE]

I was told by the employee who was approached by the ex-employee.

My response:

And, besides saying "Thank you", what did you do for your honest employee that saved you, and your store?

how many other employees do you have?

 

[Indychick]

I have 6 employees.

IAAL: what would you consider a suitable reward for the honest employee?

I would be investing in some surveillance equipment if I were you. You can can a little motion-detecting night vision camera for a few hundred dollars. All you need is a VCR to hook them to. Good for catching stinken thieves too.
