Not quite sure that an employer can ask an employee to prove they did not do something. Employer has to prove it.
But if its against their terms of employment and its proven they had two jobs then fire them. I have no problem with that.

I am sure there is some way to audit their time, their timesheet etc.
Once a person has been arrested on fraud charges there is all sorts of investgating the can do. (Just ask Donald Trump)
Out local mayor just got a big pile of charges and convictions for doing that.
Claimed to be a ful-time mayor. filled out timesheets saying he worked 40 hours. Did not work it all but held an outside job. Got a slew of fraud and related criminal charges, plus tax fraud and mail fraud etc…
Looks like he pled guilty on everything in exchange for concurrent sentences (3 years in prison.) Of course he’s a Republican. I am not sure if the same laws hold for Democrats.
Sorry what’s the statute that makes it unlawful?

Their tax returns.
Probably comitting fraud.
That’s what they got Myor Pete Byron on.
Well that was the keystone charge that led to all the others.
There isn’t one.
I knew a guy years ago who worked for the government AND stocked shelves at Best Buy at night.
There is nothing unlawful about having two jobs.

Working two jobs isn’t illegal or fraudulent
I’ll say this.
Some people are willing to work two jobs. Forty hours is an artificial workweek definition.
(SOME people, nowadays, mind you. And it’s certainly not as prevalent as it was in my grandfather’s day, for example.)
A person who gets an extra 20 hours by working 10/day on weekends should NOT get whacked by this potential government action.

Do you really need me to explain it to you?
As I often say I like it better a few years ago, back when the libs pretended to be smart. All this feigned ignorance is like heartburn

Absolutely they should take whatever steps they deem is necessary but its on the government as the employer to prove it not the employee not to prove it.
Time card fraud is illegal. Working two jobs isn’t.
Unless its in the terms of their contract.
My employer requires everyone to declare any second job and terms of employment state that any other job is secondary.
Uhhh any boss can do an audit of your time.
If/when there is enough evidence for a police investigation
the police get broad latitude (with a search warrant of course.)
It is if you’re doing one on the other’s time.
There you go.
What kind of penalty can a guy get for fraud charges anyway?
Can’t be very much, right?
Just restitution of all those years pay and all those years benefits and three years in jail is all that Mayor Pete got.

Hmmm, maybe he will hit is 5-10% employee resignation goal.
At least, for the folks who have employable skills
8 months pay,
keep your pension,
avoid a fraud investigation (and possible conviction)
.

Or return to office and begin with an audit of how you spent your time.

If they worked a job with withholdings, easy.
An “under the table” job for cash. Not so much.
