Section 5: OPA Board Subject: F&Beverage Forensic Audit Msg# 1048452

The hanky panky for phantom employees is more often likely to occur within remote depts, not from central payroll. Its based on subterfuge at the level of approving time cards, for example. Thus everything at the central office would appear OK. Central payroll is in the sun light of central administration, but depts remote from hdqtrs are more likely to be in the shadows from scrutiny.
There were allegations of many phantom employees in the Police Dept in New Orleans, which made news about a decade ago, you may recall. Its done, for example, by supervisors who approve time records, and then are the same ones handing out the paychecks. Pocketing their own checks, plus the fake employee's checks. Nothing personal in my comments here. Sorry if this seemed to be. And yes -- I understand the examples you've mentioned. How you were raising the red flags, calling for better administrative controls over soaring labor costs, attempting to overcome the losses. Good efforts. But no one was able to stem that tide of F&B losses. Tom |

For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where: So they found my work in payroll completely in order with the exception of OT authorizations which should have been maintained at public works since they electronically authorize time cards, and you still question that I paid phantom employees? I can assure you that I did not. But thank you for proving that despite the forensic audit outcome, my reputation is still in question. |
