Supervisors illegal time keeping practice

[biggrich03]

We have reported our supervisor, a staff nurse, and the administrative assistant for claiming they have worked hours that have not been worked. Several of us have called the corporate compliance line and have notified our regional office. We are waiting to see what comes of it. What should our next step be if nothing is done and they continue to do what they are doing? In addition we have all noticed that there is alot of favoritism going on among those three staff. We are all very upset with what has been going on and feel that they need to be held accountable for what they have done which is illegal. We are all in this together and need to keep it that way. We all feel that we are not being supported. They are all very secretive and are not doing the job they are paid to do. We often do not get any communication verbally or by phone or email. They continue to ignore our pleas for help and ignore us. Please give me any advice that you feel can help us to get this issues resolved.

Perhaps you could go to their association (in the case of the nurses).. go above corporate office if you need to until you reach contact with someone willing to do something about it. No on should act with impunity. Anyone who gets away with doing illegal, immoral things will continue to do those same things until they are called on it and held accountable.

If the corporate office does not mind paying them for the hours they are claiming, then it is not going anywhere in the legal system. the "victim" is the corporation, not you. And if "the victim" doesn't mind what's going on, then it's not going anywhere. If they do something that is illegal and YOU are the victim, then you proceed with filing a complaint against them and the corporation with whatever government agency is appropriate.

If the corporate office supports them, then the best thing for you to do is find a new job (unless you can prove they broke a law.)

OP actually is a victim, although I understand why you say she's not.

OP - keep out of it. You do not know for sure , most likely, what these three are doing. Have you actually seen the paperwork about their hours? Just keep your own nose clean and be assured that someone will probably catch up to them eventually if they are doing something wrong.

At least 2 of them might be salaried, thus working way more than 40 hours per week. Maybe they are allowed to take time off when it's quiet to make up for the extra hours they put in. But you likely do not really know all of the facts, so just keep out of it - at least, unless and until you do know. KNOW, not suspect. If that time comes, I guess it's your choice as to what to do about your knowledge.

Best wishes.
