I don’t know the details. If she is getting more money than his books show…then that’s illegal. If she’s getting the amount of money the books show she is getting for the hours she actually works, I can’t see that that is illegal.

For example, if she works 40 hours for 10 dollars an hour, and he records it as 30 hours for 8 dollars an hour…that’s illegal.

Well, that could be construed as welfare fraud, particularly if the only reason the employee wants less hours is to go on welfare! Wouldn't we all like to sit at home, watch Oprah, and get paid to do so. However, if I put my devious mind at work, if the employee could come up with a phony reason (like I can't stand on my feet for more than 4 hours a day), and the employer accepts that and gives her less hours (the employer could let her go if he actually needs a full-timer rather than a part-timer), then it might work.

But don't go into the office as ask for less work so you can go on welfare! And when welfare asks why you can't get more work, it would help to have a doctor's note saying you can't work more than four hours a day, etc.

Absolutely not. That is 100% illegal for multiple reasons. The employer should not only deny such a request, the manager should report the request to the company's HR department and/or Ethics group.

Hrm. I may have misread this. I took your question to mean "Should an employer RECORD less hours and lower pay, to show to governmental agencies such as IRS and Welfare, than the employee actually worked".

If that's what you meant, my original answer stands. If you actually meant should the employer actually give the employee less hours to work and/or lower their salary, then that's up to the employer. If the job can get done with fewer hours worked, it's hard to see what the employer wouldn't want to reduce their own costs.

But if cutting back the employee's hours means having to find a new hire to pick up the slack and/or adjust other people's schedules just to satisfy this one employee? Hard to see why it wouldn't just be easier to fire that person and hire one who can put in the full amount.

You read the question the way it was intended. However, I should add that this is a part-time/as needed employee not a full-time/salary employee. S work schedule was posted and he worked the specified hours for the week.

Now he wants to show less earnings for this time period. He has requested either:1. To be paid cash (Out of the question)or2.To have hours moved to another week, effectively "banking" hours/wages until it's convenient for him.

I suppose the reasons are irrelevant, but he said that if he shows too much income, he won't be eligible for additional healthcare coverage for one of his special-needs children. This person is capable of calculating his wages. Why wouldn't he say "I can't come into work today" or "You need to schedule me for less hours" instead of asking his employer to do what amounts to questionable accounting?

How should the employer approach this situation? Aie 15 months ago .

100% illegal. The employer should reject the request out of hand, and terminate the employee if he attempts to ask the employer to engage in fraudulent behavior again.

There are absolutely no problems with you telling your employer that you can only earn X dollars a month.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
