How should HR handle an employee's property seized by police?💻👮&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Our HR consultancy recently helped a business uncover that an employee, involved in a major criminal drug ring, had their work computer seized by police. The issue only surfaced when the employee requested another computer for work, prompting our further investigation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It was imperative HR acted with caution. Even when an employee is involved in criminal activity, mishandling the situation could result in claims of unfair dismissal.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Are you uncertain whether an employee is being truthful about their involvement with authorities?
