Caterer gets tip to remember
Here’s a cautionary tale to pass along to your AP and Payroll folks about the importance of double-checking for errors.
A company thought it tipped an Indiana cater $29.87. But the check the caterer received was actually for $29,387.

Now, the employer is taking the caterer to court in an attempt to recover the money.
