I work for a large university. Our section is an off campus site. We recently got a new supervisor who is big buddies with one of the women here. The new supervisor promise this woman and another a pay grade raise. She couldn't pull it off, I suppose the people over her said no due to budget. So, supervisor told them not to count off their lunches and if they needed to leave early etc go ahead but still put down 40 hours a week.
Basically we're talking minumum of ten hours per month per person of falsified time or more (more often more, ie 25 hours worked, 40 put down) It's causing tension because we are only 13 employees and everyone knows but no one knows what to do.

Seems like I need to explain. The jobs are listed as 7.5 hours a day, with half hour NON paid lunch. We are also talking about working 5 hour days then going home. Sure, if it was a small business then anything goes but it is a larger part of the picture.

This may not be fraud. Many companies include the lunch hour in the working day. This could certainly be an executive decision that is perfectly legitimate.

Wow! A university employee worried about the budget. You are a rare breed. Why do you think tuition is so expensive?
You should run for president for being so honest.
Do you think that you are the only organization getting paid while you eat lunch? If you are on salary, you get paid. Your boss gets paid for their lunch break. Why are you so concerned?
If you pick up a penny off the street, do you look for the person who dropped it?

If you pay taxes than you are paying for what sounds like 15 hours a week for nothing but a promise that was not of your doing. They are stealing from everyone, and you and your co workers have every reason in the world to be pissed off. spill the beans.

I'm not sure about fraud but i think you should however ask your boss for the same treatment. If they won't give it to you then you can either speak to thier manager about unfair treatment or you can let slip about the falsely claimed for hours
