Time Records Often Altered, Job Experts Say

There's a lesson in here for all electronic systems: those which do not provide audit trails are easily fungible. Without a physical time card, a record of hours worked, employees are literally at the mercy of management for proof of their shfit time. And that time worked can be shaved to cut costs..

Now, imagine electronic voting with no audit trail ...

Experts on compensation say that the illegal doctoring of hourly employees' time records is far more prevalent than most Americans believe.

Notes: If you put a <mailto:> link in the URL field your address will not be mangled: this could be a bad idea as your email address could be easily harvested by bots designed for SPAM. The comments field should now format correctly for line feeds and carriage returns: when you hit the 'Enter' or 'Return' keys in your comment it should break to a new line. The text should wrap cleanly. Please let me know if it doesn't. No HTML tags will pass through - entering links seems to be the main cause of comment SPAM. Also, please be sure that Javascript is enabled in your browser before attempting to post a writeback. Sorry for any inconvenience, but this really helps cut down on the amount of comment SPAM I have to deal with.
