You may trust your bookkeeper implicitly...in every embezzlement case this was true.

In my opinion, this is completely unacceptable and unprofessional. I don't care what type of working environment you are in, everyone should appear presentable for work.

As office managers, we do not have the time to baby-sit employees, yet if we don't monitor time, certain employees will take advantage.
