Understanding Employee Time Theft
Employee time theft occurs when employees fraudulently manipulate their working hours to receive compensation for time they did not actually work. Employee time theft can occur via different means, some of the common ones are as follows.
Buddy Punching
This is a common form of time theft where one employee clocks in or out on behalf of a colleague who is not present. It often involves sharing access cards or login credentials to deceive the attendance system.
Extended Breaks
Some employees may take longer breaks than allowed, essentially getting paid for the time they spend outside the workplace.
Falsifying Hours
Employees may manually alter their time records to show that they worked longer hours than they actually did.
Ghost Employees
In more severe cases, businesses may unknowingly pay employees who do not exist or who have left the company.
Why It’s Crucial To Prevent Employee Time Theft
Employee time theft is problematic for several reasons – some of the common issues organizations face are as follows:
- Financial Impact: It directly affects a company’s finances by inflating labor costs. When employees are compensated for unworked hours, it results in unnecessary expenses.
- Operational Disruption: Time theft disrupts operational efficiency by distorting attendance records. This can lead to improper resource allocation and assigning HR personnel to identify the issues – affecting overall productivity.
- Mistrust and Decreased Morale: Time theft fosters a culture of mistrust among employees and management. When some employees engage in dishonest practices, others may follow suit or become demotivated, damaging team cohesion and morale.
