My employee is cheating on timesheet by setting system clock. How can I prove it? What do I say to her?

Answer 1

get a good system administrator so employees cannot alter time on system clock

until then: stand at door when she comes in, look at watch when she sees you...

Answer 2

If this is something that could result in employee termination, you want to have everything properly documented to protect yourself as an employer.

First, make sure you can demonstrate that your "time card" application uses system time. The supplied documentation should be adequate to do so.

Second, and I'm assuming either Windows 2000 or Windows XP here, configure auditing on the workstation the employee uses. Do do this, click on 'Start,' then 'Run.' Type in "secpol.msc" (without the quotes) and click 'OK.' This will bring up the local security policy of the workstation. Expand 'Local Policies' and select 'Audit Policy'. Double-click on 'Audit system events' and put a check in the 'Success' box, then click 'OK.' This is going to configure the workstation to keep a log any time the system is altered.

To view the log, click 'Start' and right-click on 'My Computer,' and select 'Manage.' Expand 'System Tools,' then 'Event Viewer' and select the 'Security' log. You're looking for success audits of system events with an event ID of 520. Double-clicking on the event itself will open a window that will display the details of the event, including the username of the user who performed the action, as well as the time prior to the change and the time after the change.

Once you've gathered enough evidence to suit your needs, export and save the log file (export is under the 'File' menu).

Good luck.

Answer 3

If you don't already have security cameras, get them, and make sure one is pointed at the time clock. I don't know what kind of business you have or how many employees, but I'll just about guarantee that she isn't the only one that will be busted doing something wrong/illegal by the cameras. The video is the best way to short-circuit denials and back you up if the employee files a greivance with the state in case of your having to dismiss him/her. What you do with this particular case, assuming that a security camera gets proof ( or any future cases) is write her up and keep this in the employee's file. Documentation will make any future actions easier for you.

Answer 4

Obviously she must open or come in without supervision. I had twelve hundred employees once and keeping the few dishonest ones honest was a chore. Finally I simply mandated a schedule and they either followed it and were paid accordingly or they could find new jobs. No overtime unless approved by management.

Answer 5

Place a cammera over the work station. Or use a screen capture program to record the screen every so often or even maybe use a different form of time tracking

Answer 6

Use a time sheet program thats on the network and uses the server system clock.

Answer 7

You don't have to prove it. Tell her if it happens again she's fired. Put it in writing and ask her to sign it and put it in her personnel file. If you catch her doing it again, terminate her employment. It's as simple as that!

Answer 8

Catch her on video tape.

Answer 9

take of picture of him doing that.

Answer 10

kick her ***
