ABSTRACT

I believe fraud and theft are some of the stereotypic projections Blacks are saddled with but I had never imagined they would land in my lap. They did. My part-time employer had contacted my full-time employer and requested my work schedule and my sickness record. The part-time employer built a case using evidence of my work pattern over a five-month period from 19th October to 20th March. They compiled a table showing my daily working hours for both employers and the total, even calculating length of breaks between shifts.
