payroll tampering

[nettmel]

What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Ohio.
My director has been tampering with my timecard and taking out addition PTO (paid time off) that has not been authorized by me. Is this a criminal act? What recourse do I have? I reported it to HR two days ago and have not heard a response. Thank you.

Two days is hardly long enough to complete a full investigation. Nor is the employer required to tell you what action they take.

Where did my post go?

What my post said, basically was......

No, this is not a criminal act. It is the employer's legal responsibility to maintain time records. You don't have to "authorize" anything. In fact, you don't even legally have to complete the time sheet, let alone "authorize" a change.

I don't understand what has occurred, though. Are you putting PTO on your time sheet and it's not getting paid? Or are you getting paid for the days you take, but your PTO balance is being decremented by more than you take/were paid for?

Or something else altogether?

A criminal act? Hahahahaha!!! Call the cops! Dial 911! And then tell us what they say to you! The fact that you even thought this was a criminal act, for more than a split second, is funny enough, let alone that you admitted to your dopiness by publishing this question on the internet! Woohoo!!! Thanks for the fun, OP!

That was really mature. Not everyone knows what constitiutes a criminal or civil act. The OP came with a question and it was answered and hopefully they are more educated.
