You discover that one of your project team members has sold pieces of equipment that were allocated to the project. Upon further investigation you find that his rationale was a need for cash to pay for his son’s college tuition. He says that he considers this remuneration for overtime hours worked without pay and he asks for your support in this view. You also find that his claim of unclaimed and unpaid overtime is true and that he has been a hard worker on project. What should you do?

A. Fire the project team member B. Report the team member to his manager C. Suggest that the team member report his actions to the HR department D. Tell the team member that you are disappointed in what he did, and advise him that you will consider this a fair trade for the unpaid overtime. You also inform him that this will be grounds for dismissal if it occurs again.
