Florida man pleads guilty to time and attendance fraud
A meat processing company worker was recently arrested for timeclock fraud after pocketing former employees' paychecks, the Suwannee Democrat reports.
Amarcus McMillian, a supervisor at Pilgrim's Pride, forged two workers' signatures and deposited more than $6,000 worth of checks into his personal bank account between July and October. McMillian confessed to the misappropriation and claimed the employees were not aware of it. Earlier this month, he was charged with grand theft, scheming to defraud under $20,000 and 15 counts of uttering a forgery, according to the news source.
Companies that fear workers may be engaging in time theft or "buddy-punching" - the practice of clocking in on behalf of colleagues - can use a fingerprint time clock to ensure people who clock in are really who they say they are.
Organizations that have sub-par employee tracking procedures in place make themselves vulnerable to time theft and could also be violating the FLSA's record-keeping requirements.
