Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Nonexistent employees and fraudulent hours are both common types of payroll fraud by employees. Nonexistent employees may be added to the payroll system and receive paychecks that are then stolen by the employee or an accomplice. Fraudulent hours may be added to an employee's time sheet, or the employee may claim overtime hours they did not actually work. Unauthorized bonuses are also a type of payroll fraud, but it is not as common as nonexistent employees and fraudulent hours.
