New member of staff lying

We have a new member of staff in the workplace who has recently started, she initially accepted the job offer then changed her mind and didn’t turn up on her start day, then changed her mind again and decided to come and started a few days later
🙄

She’s been with us a week, but today I found out from a colleague at a different branch that she hasn’t in fact handed in her notice at said old position yet……

She also called in sick last week on her first week for one day saying she had D&V however was spotted working at said other branch…..

Do I inform my boss that we are aware she hasn’t handed in her notice at her old job yet since starting with us?
I don’t know whether to not get involved or to be honest with my boss about what I know.

wwyd?

I’d tell my boss and hopefully they sack her for gross misconduct. She sounds like she’d be a dead weight for the team if kept on.

Could the boss know? Surely they had to get references from old branch?

Did you have other good candidates for this job? Yes report it to your boss. She's already messed you about once. It doesn't sound like she's committed to this job.

All the 'none of your business' people: you're here on a website reading all about other people's business!

It’ll soon become apparent when her pay is hammered with tax
