This question is about employee theft statistics.
Can you get fired for time theft?
Yes, you can get fired for time theft. This is essentially receiving pay for hours you haven't worked or tasks you haven't completed. While you will not be charged in any way (as time theft isn't a crime), your employer likely won't be happy about your performance.
Plus, if the damage is bad enough, your employer may decide to prosecute in an attempt to recover losses.
Regardless of the type of theft you commit, 76% of employees who commit theft are fired. Overall, 80% of perpetrators received some sort of punishment in response to the theft, from termination to being charged with an actual crime.
