Question

In one of the case studies in the textbook, Jerry Harkanell worked as an administrative assistant for a large San Antonio hospital, where his clerical duties included the submission of the payroll information for his unit. He found that he could add hours to the timesheets and receive extra pay. He continued to alter his timesheets until he was finally caught. What red flag was present that should have made someone suspicious

Answer 1

There could have been multiple red flags in this overall case conduct like :

1. Continuous overtime from an employee should have been checked as what would be the reason behind it.

2. Ground reality should have been evaluated, like what are actual timings of Jerry's coming into office and going out.

3. Sheets of person-ell in second shift after Jerry should have also been checked.
