Your position is directly affected both positively and negatively by his work. You have found several errors, and he refuses to make corrections. Your boss asks him to correct these mistakes, but in the end the cleanup falls on your desk. He is making more than you via OT even though he is not doing his job....you are.
To make matters worse, he has just been given a review and placed on six months probation; BUT RECEIVES A RAISE!! The first round of items you need to review are WRONG again with the same types of mistakes. There has been no improvement in 8 months. Now your boss in not only covering for him, but blaming you for not catching more of his mistakes.

I have kept a log and copies of the errors. Not to mention that it is me who has to sign off on the work. I refused until he corrected his mistakes, but when he doesn't them I am blamed. In most cases, I don't even get the items back. He has also lied about correcting several of them; the system reports tell a different story.
It should be nited that this person was told that I was above him, but not his supervisor. He has ignored correction requests that have come from our boss as well. When those are not made, then I am questioned as to why there reamins a problem ( I do not see all of the items in question, so it is a little hard to keep track of all of them).

Continue to do what you have been doing. Document everything. CYA is a good thing to fall back on. One would think that with the consistent documentation, your boss would have a hard time ignoring the trail.
But you mentioned is that even with the documentation, he refuses to write up this person. Keeping this in mind, your situation is probably not going to get better. Use the CYA method and start looking for something else. You are not going to win at this situation.
Either learn to live with it, or move on. Make your decision and go from there.

I would review the work and report accurately the findings. The boss will not forget that the person refused to make the corrections and that you did. Your boss may not be able to tell you confidential information about what possible changes will be taking place to correct the issue.

Do what you've been asked to do, and review your co-worker, frankly and honestly, giving examples of their mistakes, and the manner in which you have had to correct them. Keep a work diary, and dont let yourself be bullied.
