Assistant
I am a preschool teacher at a church. The church supplies us with a yearly budget for craft supplies and snacks. My assistant is in charge of getting snacks for the students. She charges these at a grocery store on the church's account. When I checked the receipts I saw that she had charged two inexpensive personal items for herself and the chruch paid for it. She is my friend or atleast I thought she was. The church never asks for the itemized receipts only the total amount. Should I report her?
Thank you

Although she is a friend she betrayed your trust in her. What would she do if it was the other way round. The only thing you can do is talk the situation over with her and explain to her if she doesnt pay the money back you'll have no choice but to report her. Hope it goes well.

I think that if your so called friend is doing something wrong then you have to talk to her or turn her in. If this is hurting your church then you need to take action.

i think you should talk to her and convince her to admit what she did wrong so it doesn't seem like you are doing something behind her back.If that doesn't work, then yes, let the church know because God doesn't like stealing and what she is doing is almost like stealing.

I would ask her about it first and give her a chance to explaine before "turning her in." If she denies she did anything wrong, then you should talk to someone about it.

I would speak to the woman before taking things further. Don't be accusitorial, just ask whether she was aware that she actually charged some personal items to the church account. It could have just been a mistake on her part, or she could have done that but then paid back the money by some means you aren't aware of. If there is a reasonable explanation, you can then leave it there without getting anyone else involved. If she admits she did charge the items but thought it wasn't important as they were inexpensive, then you can advise her that even inexpensive personal items shouldn't be charged to the church, because that money is for the children and taking even small amounts of it is technically theft. Make sure you go in open-minded and be prepared to hear her explanation before you assume that she is guilty though - only once you have a fuller explanation you can decide whether high authorities need to know what happened.

Okay. Think about this. She's taking money from god =).. do you think god likes liars. and people who use the church of god to buy things. thats really rude. shes going to keep doing it and ripping off the church. i mean come on thats freaking rude. outta all people to do it to she had to do it to the church.. that should be a sin! yes, you deffiently should report her right away!

yes...that could add up to a bottle of paint r something

Its your job to report her.

If it was inexpensive, don't report her yet. First off, make sure the church paid for it- she could have paid them back or something. Only if you're absolutely sure, confront her. Ask her about it, but be nice, i.e.:
"I was looking at the receipts and I saw two items that looked like they weren't for the church, and I was just wondering about it. I know you'd never make the church pay for your own stuff, because that's horrible and selfish, so I just wanted to make sure you don't make that mistake again. okay?"
Then she's probably stop out of guilt.
Hope I helped!

you should talk to her about it and tell her you think she should pay the ammount of money that it cost back to the church, if she says thats shes not going to pay the church back then you should report her.
hope i helped

I think you should report her because the church may find out and then you mite get in troble for not reporting her. Or if you two r like realli good friends you could like comfrunt her and say you need to stop or i will report u

If she is doing this consistently, then yes. But the first time I would let it go just for the sake of keeping everything in good shape...not fighting, arguements, etc. If she does it more than once or seems suspicious after that, then yes...report her. The chruch expenses when teachers or other assitants are in charge of it are all in good faith. You also might want to look into it a little more and ask the person in charge of finances, if this Jane Doe has paid them back for her charged personal expenses. Don't always jump to conclusions...Hope I helped! :-D

I think you should talk to her and see why she did it. If you really like her and you think she is a good person and they were really inexpensive, then i wouldn't worry about it very much, just make sure she doesnt do it again, and if she does do it again, no matter what the cost, i would definitly say something...i hope this helps you out!

Yes, you should report your friend/assistant because no one should use the church's money. If you still have the receipts, show them to whoever is in charge of the church so you have proof. I know this person is your friend but what she is doing is wrong. Hope I helped :)
