What is the name of your state? MA.
I have the following problem with an employee: he is a manager of one of the divisions in my business. He's been with the company for many years, but recently I found out that he started his own business doing exactly what he is in charge of in the division. I also have evidence that he submitted proposals to clients with my company's name on them, but he'd do the work himself and bill the customers himself for the work done (fortunately no theft of inventory took place). I've lost a significant amount of revenue because of his actions. He is terminated as of today, but are there any legal actions I can take against him forcing him to compensate my company for the work done on my time, with my tools and in many cases with the help of my employees (who unknowingly helped him because they thought it was work contracted to my company).
Please let me know if I do have any options regarding this matter. It really hurts to see an employee of 30+ years do this. I feel that he should suffer the consequences of his actions.
