Some examples of possible indicators are employees that are
always in financial difficulty; strong resentment of superiors or constant job
frustration; and employees living beyond their means, as far as you, the signer
of paychecks understands. These may be innocent situations. The
employee may just be in a rough patch in their life. It is also possible
that there may be family money, lottery winnings, or a spouse with a
well-paying job that explains them living beyond the paycheck that you
sign. Overall it is good to have some level of trust of employees, but it
is always a good idea to keep an eye out for indicators that something more
disturbing may be going on.
