English term or phrase: erratic per person results
- Theft - Concessions

Employee theft may occur in a number of ways:

 Consumption
 Removal of merchandise
 Reuse of merchandise
 Under ringing or not ringing up sales, that is, charging a guest full price for a purchase and ringing up a lesser value, or, not ringing up the sale at all and pocketing the difference
 Outright pocketing of cash
 Misuse of coupons and/ or mishandling of “free” product promotion or refills
 Entering an incorrect amount tendered and returning incorrect change to an accomplice, for example, attendant rings up a $4.00 sale, receives $5.00, enters $20.00 as amount tendered and returns $16.00 to the “customer”.

Rapid detection and resolution of shortages are key to limiting exposure. The following may be early indicators of a shortage problem:

 ERRATIC PER PERSON RESULTS
 Decrease in average dollars per transaction
 Excessive number of voids
 High or unusual spoilage activity
 Suspicious, nervous employees

Explanation:
The Oxford dictionary provides two possible specific translations for "erratic" describing performance or work, which are "desigual" and "irregular". What the previous answerer means is "aleatorios" (twice mispelled), but I think in this context you should use "irregular". In your text: "resultados irregulares por persona", or even better "resultados irregulares por empleado".
Un saludo.

Resultados irregulares; Muestras irregulares en resultados . Tambien ...diferentes..


Explanation:
I agree with Gonzalo, since, to my appreciation it should be "resultados irregulares" or "muestras irregulares de resultados por persona". But, let me give you a hint that might look good too. It can be something like "Continua variacion en resultados comparada con otras personas" (claro con acentos). It sounds pretty good and it hits the exact meaning in English.

Hope this helps you.

Luck,

Yoly
