Businesses illegally tamper with time sheets
What do Idaho and New York have in common? Both are currently home to lawsuits over falsified time and attendance reports. According to The Columbus Republic, a prison warden recently stepped down from his job in Idaho because his workers tampered with their employee tracking records.
An investigation of the Idaho Correctional Center revealed that employee time sheets were falsified for seven months during 2012. This amounted to around 5,000 hours that were faked in order to hide a staffing deficiency, as reported by the source. Although the warden's own employee records were not falsified, the violations occurred on his watch.
"It was his responsibility to know what was going on," Alex Friedmann, president of the Private Corrections Institute, told the Republic. "Hopefully the new warden will be less problematic."
In a different case, New York resident and McDonald's employee Jeffrey Schuyler claims his employer is the one tampering with workers' time sheets. According to the Huffington Post, Schuyler is suing McDonald's for allegedly falsifying his time sheets in order to deny him overtime pay. The suit is also extended to about 500 other workers who may have been affected by the misrepresentations.
Schuyler made $13 an hour at McDonald's, and he argues that his bosses regularly changed the hours he logged after working overtime shifts.
