It amazes me what people will do. Had a pretty well compensated sales rep “accidentally” pay for his son’s car repair on corporate credit card - which caused the red flag to raised. We started auditing his expenses, found that he had been buying cartons of cigarettes and beer at the gas station when he’d fill up (card was to be used only for fuel and customer lunches).

It was a very pathetic story when he came clean and told us why, so we canned him and explained that he would forfeit his last pay check and earned commissions AND if he decides to fight it, we would sue him for the entire amount of ALL of his expenses, unless he could provide a breakdown of all expenses and the associated receipts.
