Hi:
Being circumspect in terminating employees and having relevant policies in effect is always prudent. However, when an employee admits to fraudulent behavior, the employer is on pretty reasonable footing in terms of insulation from liability.

cagirl2005, now that the mistake has been corrected, the issue for you is closed. You have no authority to fire the HR person over this - if her boss chooses not to fire her, there's nothing you can do about this. Finally, perjury is a concept found only in a court of law. Legally, perjury doesn't exist in the workplace.

Daily Q&A

How to Address Flagging Motivation?

How do I increase motivation levels in the department? How do I brand my business unit as an attractive place to work? I have top-notch IT professionals in my business unit who feel they are "children of a lesser God" because they are non-billable resources and do not get plum postings abroad, nor the glamour that goes with them. As a result, their motivation suffers.
