If there were cheating and you reported as required - then you did what you legally required to do. If there were no cheating you lose nothing except carrying out further investigation with authorities monitoring. But if there was cheating and you knowingly didn't report it - you lose everything. So why bet on probabilities? | |
| Jun 6, 2021 at 5:57 | comment | added | Harper - Reinstate Monica | @OlegV.Volkov You are guilty of magical thinking, you are presuming the cheeating to be knowable. Real world, not so easy. How can you be sure the cheating is real and it isn't just some fool going all Joe McCarthy/Don Quixote? You can't. Those scandal-mongers can say the exact same thing even if there is no cheating at all, and that could just be a disgruntled employee or a competitor slandering you. But now you can say "We doubt that's true, but we re-tested just to be sure, and everybody passed. #nothingburger". | |

Also consider, that reporter can be anybody who knows about the cheat - not only the cheaters themselves. Any worker, including those that aren't guilty of anything and that you can't stop with any means, that has any grudge against your company - legitimate or not - can easily destroy it, if you don't report it first. The question is not "what can I do with workers" the question is "how to stop your own illegal deeds and minimize company's problem with authorities". | |

What if the cheating is only rumor/scuttlebutt/circumstantial/"surely they did" etc.? So you out them to the authorities, they lose their job, and sue for defamation. See, OP doesn't have the option to "err on the side of caution" here. There is no "safe side" to err on. What I say is the least bad play. | |

The truth WILL get out. And then the company WILL suffer way more than whatever legal punishment you can invent for any of those workers. | |
