I have this employee who as worked for me for 1 year. It has been great. The particular employee was a framing contractor who decided to switch gears and come work behind a desk, for a variety of reasons. His plan was to keep his framing company, but reduce this jobs down to ones he could manage without having to physically being there. He has worked for me part time for 6 months, and then full time for the last 6 months.
Things are going well, and then I find out that one of my clients has decided to drag his feet in paying me, is also a client of my employees framing company.
I find out that my employee has basically dual natured conversations with this particular client, where they talk about my business, and then switch over and talk through my employee's side business.
I can easily see a fast approaching conflict of interest. My employee is basically saying "I don't want to be in the middle of you and problem client", and "I didn't ask for this", which is not quite true, because he did invite himself to work for this client on the side, as a framing contractor under my employee's personal business.
Any advice on people's perspective of this would be great.
Thank you.
