Time Reporting

Well, we have all been there. Get near the end of the year, and determine that we are over budget. So now we must find buckets of money to pull from.

Now, I am told to report my time in a certain manner for the rest of the year. The only problem is that I am not working in these areas, nor have I ever.

In my wee little book, this is being told to lie. I still have not decided how I am going to handle this. (I already know how I should.)

My question – isn’t this illegal? That is, what are the possible legal ramifications – not only for me, but for the companies I work for?
