Associates DUCKELS00304 Duckels Construction Fraud Investigation Wage Overpayments Key Assumptions INITIAL PRELIMINARY REPORT BASED ON INFORMATION AVAILABLE TO DATE Ms Driggers hourly wage rate from December 2014 through April 2015 was 35 per hour In May 2015 Ms Driggers an employee since the early-2000s increased her hourly wage rate to 36 per hour From June 2015 through November 2018 Ms Driggers increased her hourly rage rate to 40 per hour The increases in Ms Driggers wage rate from 2015 through 2018 were not authorized Her hourly wage rate would have remained at 35 per hour from 2015 through 2018 had she herself not increased it In 2017 due to a concern about the quantity of overtime hours Ms Driggers paid herself she was required to begin using the time clock to record the hours she spent working Around July or August of 2018 Nicholle Douglas a Duckels Construction employee began reviewing all employees'time cards including Ms Driggers Ms Driggers overtime hours started to drop in 2017 when she began using the time clock and continued to drop when Ms Douglas began checking her time cards until eventually leveling off We used the average overtime hours Ms Driggers recorded from July 2018 through November 2018 to determine a reasonable estimate of actual overtime hours worked in prior periods Duckels Construction employees accrued one week 40 hours of paid vacation per year Given the amount of vacation hours recorded by Ms Driggers and paid to her we assumed she did not have any vacation hours that rolled over to the years we analyzed Ms Driggers paid herself vacation hours in addition to regular and overtime pay in the same weeks Note ComputerEase is the accounting software used by Duckels This software handled both the regular accounting and
