Unless they have complicity with management, the risk over reward is too great to try this. If they kept the skim small to be unnoticed -- $3-5 on each check, perhaps -- it may still not add up to being worthwhile. Most people in the world are not criminal masterminds; I think sometimes engineers like us forget that others are not constantly looking for loopholes in everything. :)
