Payroll Fraud

Payroll fraud can affect businesses and individuals. Common schemes for payroll fraud include non-existent or ghost employees, fictitious hours and overtime abuses, overstating expense accounts, and fictitious or overstated medical claims. For payroll purposes, employers must consider the Federal Labor Standards Act implications regarding paychecks, withholding allowances, taxes, payment practices, and recordkeeping.

Financial services companies, payment processors and banks have a duty to warn their business customers about the danger of payroll fraud. It's in the best interest of these institutions to assist their customers in preventing payroll fraud, to both protect the financial well-being of their customers and to enhance general business confidence in financial institutions.

If you or your business has been affected by payroll fraud, contact the attorneys of James F. Humphreys & Associates. Our firm has extensive experience in this type of litigation and fully comprehends the difficulties fraud poses on individuals and the companies they work for. Fill out a free case evaluator now.
