- Afraid they will lose their job
- Don’t want to get in trouble for doing something they shouldn’t have
- Spoil a potential company pizza party for number of days without an injury
- Don’t have a process to report the claim
- Don’t know how or who to contact to report an injury
- Not sure they are actually hurt
- Need to meet a production goal
- Think they can tough it out
- They don’t want to go to clinic for a drug screen
- Got hurt at home & trying to determine a strategy to claim they were injured on the job
Why do employees commit fraud? Could these be the reasons?
- Paid time off with no vacation time left
- Free prescription drugs
- Chance of large cash windfall
- Brag to friends they beat the company out of big money
- Lazy and don’t want to work
- Looking to blame someone else and make them pay for their place in life
- Because all their friends & family do
- Bad work environment
- Feel like company owners don’t care about them
- Feel like company owners owe them
With all the reasons for employees not reporting injuries or
committing fraud, why don’t business owners take better control of these
situations? In my opinion they do not understand the impact of these situations
on their profitability and productivity. If they did, I guarantee
they would take action. Now the problem is, what action would they take
if they understood the impact? Do they know the answer? Do their trusted
HR Managers or Risk Managers know the answer? I would venture to say that
most do not know what to do. Do you?
