Supermarket seeks compensation for fraudulent overtime
A former ShopRite Supermarkets worker was recently sued for employee time theft after allegedly submitting fraudulent time sheets, according to the Staten Island Real-Time News.
The fake records allowed Graniteville, New York, resident Patrick Kayser to earn more than $23,000 in overtime employee attendance compensation for time he had not actually worked.
Last April, Kayser pleaded guilty to petit larceny, a misdemeanor. He was sentenced to three years' probation and ordered to pay $15,000 restitution, which he has been paying in monthly installments of $500, according to a spokesman from the office of Staten Island District Attorney Daniel Donovan.
However, ShopRite is still entitled to sue Kayser for the difference between the $15,000 restitution and the $23,261 he misappropriated by falsifying his time and attendance records.
Requiring workers to use a timeclock can help companies verify that their employees actually worked the hours they are claiming. Using a fingerprint time clock can ensure workers aren't clocking in on behalf of their colleagues by verifying each user's identity.
