What is the right procedure to deduct an amount stolen by the employee from company?

One of our staff stole money from the company. The staff has confessed to the stealing on a letter - signed with a fingerprint.

The staff has agreed to deductions in order to cover up the funds taken. Can we do this? Will there be any issue w.r.t. WPS?

Hello,

Staff stealing is a felony and a huge crime you have to open an investigation in a written minute.

Then the staff should write an application to the company to forgive him and deduct it from his salary.

After all of that process, it won't affect the WPS.

Hope that helps!

Can you further clarify "investigation in a written minute"?

Can we just go ahead with the submission of reduced salary through WPS or do we need to notify some govt. authorities about this?

If yes, then to whom?
