    • Abstract:
      IN BRIEF What does management do when a star employee violates company policy? Overriding normal punishment for star employees, and then average employees, reduces the power of "perception of detection" that is thought to deter employees from perpetrating unethical behavior (ACFE, p. 32). Managers have to decide between punishing the average employee (thereby treating different employees differently) or treating the average employee the way the star was treated before.
