What is the term used when an employee is taking customers from an employer and soliciting to customers?
Had an employee that while he was on the clock and on a job site would tell the customers he would do the work needed to be done on the side for cheaper than the company & has caused the company a loss of profit.

FIRED!!! For stealing and NO UNEMPLOYMENT COMPENSATION!

If you're company has a written policy that is provided the employee at the time of hiring, that forbids this practice, no warning is necessary, FIRE HIM NOW!

In my situation our company has a non-compete contract that all employees sign upon being hired. The non-compete spells out all of these details, and also, would allow the company to pursue loss of income caused by the employees competition. Our non-compete extends beyond the end of employment for 1 year.

Also, after you dismiss the employee, quietly contact the companies that he did work for, and explain that he was dismissed for violating company policies, and being unethical, that you value their business and would enjoy the opportunity to continue working with them. Apologize for the confusion that was caused by his actions, and ask if they have any questions.

Last note, if your company has a non-compete in place, also inform those companies that he was under a non-compete contract, and is not allowed to compete directly in field for the length of the terms of that contract.

embezzlement
misappropriation
misuse of employer resources for personal gain
(in this case the customers are the resources)

This is extremely unethical practice and if the employee is still one, he should be taken aside and told that this practice is no longer acceptable. While on company property he is working for the Company not for himself. If he wishes to conduct his own business, he must decide if he will do it on his own time or leave the employment voluntarily to start his own business if this is what he's after.

He is competing with his own employer on employer paid time therefore discipline is perfectly in line here. The company must protect its interests and the employee should be warned that such conduct will not be acceptable any longer.

If he insists on continuing you can write him up 3 times, warning him of the consequences should he continue, the write up must include the reason for the action and the discipline that was taken (i.e. employee sent home for the day, two days etc.)...after this, you can fire him ... however, this too is a problem because he could then go after your clients out of vengeance. Tough call but he has to be stopped particularly if its causing the company to lose, and with a small company this doesn't take a lot.

There is an excessive method which places the company in a form of law suit against the employee for lost income...however, this is an extremely , only if absolutely necessary, action.
