Mazz Posted December 1, 2013 Report Share Posted December 1, 2013 Here is the scenario: It's getting late in the year and you have some vacation time to take. If you don't use it by the end of the year, you lose it. You check your last pay stub and it says you have 78 hours of vacation left. But you know that cannot be correct. So you go through all your time sheets for the year to verify. Sure enough, payroll missed 34hours you took in late summer and early fall, spread out over several weeks. So here are the questions: 1. Do you go ahead and plan on taking the 78 hours, even though you know you are only deserving of 44 hours? OR 2. Do you inform payroll of the discrepancy and just take what you deserve - 44 hours? OR 3. Do you simply take the vacation time you know is correct, and do not inform payroll of their error? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elyse Posted December 1, 2013 Report Share Posted December 1, 2013 I would do #2, just because I know what its like to run a business (from my Dad) and when employees take advantage of an error it REALLY sucks. But, it sucks even more for the employee when they are caught (Dad does bi-monthly rechecks on all their hours and vacation time). If they are caught...well...bye-bye. He doesn't put up with liars in his office, he's learned the hard way. But I know most people would probably do #1 or #3... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clare70 Posted December 1, 2013 Report Share Posted December 1, 2013 Can you afford to lose your job if found out, or pay back the time if they twig? Will you always be worrying if you take another option other than number 2? Not sure what I'd do, sorry! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keeonah Posted December 1, 2013 Report Share Posted December 1, 2013 I plumped for number 2 as well. I've seen people caught out before and it's just not worth it. You may think that they have made a mistake that has been overlooked but you can bet your boots that at some point things will get re-checked. Gary.

Austinville Posted December 2, 2013 Report Share Posted December 2, 2013 I know you'll take option 2. You don't have a dishonest bone in your body..............(You don't happen to have a twin with the same values who is a mechanic looking for a job, do you?)
