NATURE OF ETHICAL DILEMMAS

-

(a) It misuses company time. Whether it is covering for someone who shows up late or altering a time sheet. This category includes knowing that one is conducting personal business on company time.

(b) It shows abusive behavior. Too many workplaces are filled with managers and supervisors who use their position and power to mistreat or disrespect others.

Unfortunately, unless the situation you're in involves race, gender or ethnic origin, there is often no legal protection against abusive behavior in the workplace.

(c) Employee theft may take place. According to a recent study by Jack L. Hayes International, one out of every 40 employees in 2012 was caught stealing from their employer. Even more startling is that these employees steal on average 5.5 times more than shoplifters. Employee fraud is also on the uptick, whether it's check tampering, not recording sales in order to skim, or manipulating expense reimbursements.

(d) It loses trust. The fastest way to lose the trust between employees and employers is lie to them. Most employers report that their employees have lied to them within the past year.

(e) It may violate company internet policies. These are terms used to identify people who surf the web when they should be working. It's a huge, multi-billion-dollar problem for companies. A survey conducted recently found that every day at least 64 percent of employees visit websites that have nothing to do with their work.
