Check on your state's law, you don't have to in FL, but we do anyway.
General topic:
Of course your tracking inventory? Keep a log of theft events and employees working on and before the shifts that report the lost, its been my experience that one name will consistently pop up.
A thief is a thief by nature, if they're going steal from you they steal from you every way they can. Like cockroaches, if you focus the spotlight in one area, they will just scurry off to another area.
It's been my experience that thieves get around to tanning friends or pocketing money, by using some one else's prepaid account. This is a little complex, but tanners develop "time of day patterns" and you can define these patterns by querying your transaction file for prepaid tanners. Then, when an employee's name pops up for tanning these customer outside their "time of day patterns" you can spot check the cameras for the time and day of the transaction.
We find security cameras to be a great investment, and really helps with "Peace of Mind". I wouldn't recommend firing all, that deosn't seem fair? If you are not fair with your staff, it gives them an "
excuse" not to preform or be fair with you.
Good Luck.
