Yeah, that happened to me when I was mugged by a drug addict. He had a need.
Nobody's fault.

Um, yes. If it involves breaking the law.
That employee needs to either seek work elsewhere, with a job or employer who can meet his/her needs, or if you value them enough, then pay them overtime. Otherwise, get "another warm body" if you think that is an apt replacement for said employee. Value is value.
Strange set of ethics here. If the whole world ran like this, which I hope it doesn't, it' would be chaos.
Nice work though, saying it is usually employee initiated. Puts the blame squarely where you think it should be I guess.
