I've discovered my boss is entering false time clock punches for one of our employees(also his buddy) to the tune of 10hrs/wk. This is all overtime so we're talking $250+ per week. I ran a couple of time clock reports and its been going on for about 8 months. My dilema is who do I report this to. I'm not happy to report it to anyone as I have nothing personal against either of these guys, but I can't handle knowing this theft if occuring and not do anything. And if it were found out I know about it and haven't done anything, I could be fired. Anyway, here are my options and likely consequences:

Tell his boss- They're also buddies. May get a slap on the wrist and nothing else said. I'm then branded a snitch and my work life goes to hell.

Tell HR- My boss and the employee get fired. This is the best outcome, but if they ever found out I was the snitch, I get stabbed walking to my car after work or at least find my top slashed and tires sliced.

Tell the company president- My boss, his boss, and the employee get fired. My job becomes very difficult as we're out three people. Whoever is brought in to replace them could make things worse. Only hope would be the president would appreciate my actions and I'd be promoted/moved to a better department.

Tell the corporate office- President, my boss, his boss, and employee get fired. Don't even want to think about that one.

Anyway, what would you do?

 

i would write an anonymous note to HR and let them deal with it...

 

Tell HR and/or the company president, if it's that small of a company. But make 100% certain that you're correct first. Don't just tell his boss, you don't want to mess with a "good ol boys club".

 

^ and don't use company letterhead!!!!!!!



seriously though, i would confront your boss and tell him that you know....that'll put an end to it right there....

do you have the authority to run time clock reports (i.e. part of you job - somehow)?

 

Yeah, I have the authority, but its not something I'm required to do. I, along with my boss, am one of 5 people with access to my department's time clock info. Sadly, a weekly report on overtime is done by my boss. His signature authorizes the overtime. HR is supposed to double check these reports, but they don't have a clue what's going on since we have several guys that legitimately have 15+ hours of overtime. It just gets overlooked.

Oh, when I speak of the president, he's just over our branch(400+ employees). The corporation as a whole is pretty big, 18 locations, close to 9,000 employees.

 

let it go man, let it go.

once audit time comes around let the company figure it out.

 

[QUOTE=piecesofcurb,Sep 12 2006, 09:23 AM] Yeah, I have the authority, but its not something I'm required to do.

 

Naw, can't let it go. Not when the same man that is giving his buddy an extra $13k per year only wants to give me a cost of living raise. And an audit will find nothing. Too many employees with legitimate overtime make it easy for the fraudulent one to hide.

 

^ that's why i'm saying....you gotta let him know, that YOU know.

and i would document it...somehow....maybe send an e-mail from your personal account to his personal account.

or do it over the phone and tape record it.

 

I have a friend who specializes in this sort of thing. If you PM me I'll give you his contact info: you can phone him and get professional advice.
