OT Managers / Directors

Have you ever had to discipline any employee for lying to you? When confronted, I asked my employee three times about her seeking employment outside the company. All three times she denied it. She even tried denying it after I presented her with the letter she wrote to the company she is seeking employment from.
A write up is coming. Trust has been broken. Anyone care to share their performance documentation write ups that your company uses?

Why not just fire her?

I just tell them that their services are no longer needed.

In a situation like that she probably is concerned about being fired. Also if she is that afraid to tell you the truth then maybe there are bigger issues, and not just with her. Sounds like you don't have an approachable work environment/ leadership structure.
ETA- is this a job with a non-compete in place?

I'd suggest finding a different reason to write her up than lying about looking for other employment

Why is it your business if she does?
I'm sure you found the job you're in now while working somewhere else

You should have dismissed her right there.

Complicated business model.

More interesting question is how did you obtain this letter?

If she was looking during work hours, it can be considered a huge issue. If she's seeking employment with a competitor, it can also be an issue. If it happened off of work hours and not with a competitor, I think the case for disciplinary action would be flimsy at best.

I have never been dishonest with my direct supervisor.
It's not the mistake that will get her in trouble. It's the cover up. She had a chance to own up. She failed.

I'm curious, does her looking for employment elsewhere violate any terms in her contract? Also are there any terms of termination in the contract that would apply?

Then again, Louisiana (and Tennessee) are at will states, and the employee can be terminated for any reason, as long as it's not for discriminatory/racial/etc reasons.

If you were interviewing to replace her would you tell her if she asked?

"I have decided to allow you to focus all your energy on finding a different job. Good luck to you."

We do not have a non-compete clause. I am very approachable as others have told me. I believe it is always people first. Product, process and pricing all come in second.

From my regional counterpart. He received it from someone that works alongside her.

Sometimes its best not to let them know what you know.
What was your purpose of bringing this up to her?
