Office of the Secretary Employee Failed to Properly Record Time and Attendance

The OIG investigated allegations that a GS-12 employee with the Office of the Secretary misused his Government purchase card to buy computers without authorization, made other improper purchases with his Government purchase card, and filed false time and attendance certifications.We did not find evidence that the employee made improper purchases or converted Government equipment to personal use, but we did find that he failed to properly record his time and attendance. We questioned 74 hours that the employee claimed as regular time when it appears he should have taken annual or sick leave.
