i operate a small business – just me and a part time member of staff based in the office.
Recently i have noticed that she does not seem to be getting through her work in a timely manner. The reason appears to be that whenever i am not in the office she goes on face book. It is taking up 25%+ of her working day (she only works 4 hours per day) although on a couple of days before the christmas holidays when i was off sick it appears to have been 100% of her time.
The result is tasks are not being finished on time and in some cases not being done at all.
She was informed when she started that she could use the internet for personal purposes in her own time.
As she is my only employee this is having a significant impact on my business. Apart from the loss of time, abuse of the internet usage policy, i feel she cannot be trusted.
What do you think is the appropriate way to handle this situation?
