Have you ever fudged your time card?

By Allison Linn

Have you ever had a friend punch out for you or snuck a break without clocking out? You?re not alone, but you have may have more company in other countries.

A new survey finds that around 7 in 10 Chinese and Indian workers who use a time clock system admit to occasionally fudging their time card to receive more pay.

By contrast, only about 3 in 10 American and French workers who use a time clock at work said they have occasionally clocked in for more hours than they actually worked. Just one-fourth of Canadians surveyed admitted to such behavior.

The survey, conducted by Harris Interactive for human resources technology firm Kronos, asked workers in several countries whether they had ever done things like not clock out for lunch breaks, add time to time sheets or have someone else clock them out.

The survey didn?t ask whether employees had ever done the opposite: Worked extra hours that weren?t counted on their official time cards.

In recent years, some big U.S. employers, including Wal-Mart, have been accused of forcing employees to work off the clock or denying workers their breaks.

Other recent research has shown that employers are asking their employees to work more hours because of the weak economy.
