Recent high-profile stories of fake doctors and the like are no doubt only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to this growing problem.<\/p>\n<p>And of course, the consequences for any business hiring such a candidate can be extremely serious. You face loss of reputation, loss of clients, dangerous workplaces where safety issues are at stake, and potential liability for any damage caused by the under-qualified employee.<\/p>\n<h6>The new offences<\/h6>\n<p>But there is help at hand! All employers, employees and jobseekers need to know that anyone lying about their qualifications now faces heavy fines and up to 5 years\u2019 imprisonment.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s in terms of the newly operational National Qualifications Framework Amendment Act, which makes it a criminal offence to \u201cfalsely or fraudulently\u201d claim to be holding a qualification or part-qualification from any educational or skills development provider, including a foreign institution. Fraudulent claims needn\u2019t necessarily be in the form of a CV \u2013 any deliberate \u201cfalsification and dissemination or publication\u201d of false qualifications is now criminalized, so posting fake matric certificates or degrees on social media for example would now be a criminal offence.<\/p>\n<h6>What you should do as an employer<\/h6>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>If a job seeker lies<br \/><\/strong>\n<p style=\"margin-left: 0px!important;padding-left: 0px!important;margin-top: 15px!important\">Of course, prevention is always better than cure, do your due diligence upfront \u2013 verify all qualifications claimed, speak personally to references, query inconsistencies or gaps in CVs and so on.<\/p><p style=\"margin-left:0px!important;padding-left: 0px!important\">You naturally won\u2019t hire an applicant who turns out to be a liar but think of going one step further \u2013 lay criminal charges! It may seem overkill but the applicant has put your business at risk just by claiming the false qualification, and the best protection you can have from future attempts to defraud you in this way is to build a reputation for taking firm action against cheats.<\/li>\n<li><strong>If an existing employee lies<\/strong>\n<p style=\"margin-left: 0px!important;padding-left: 0px!important;margin-top: 15px!important\">If on the other hand you find out that an existing employee has been guilty of CV fraud, either to get the job initially or to qualify for a benefit such as a promotion, you have a range of options available to you \u2013<\/p>\n<ul style=\"list-style-type: circle!important\">\n<li><strong>Lay charges:<\/strong>\u00a0Send out a clear message: \u201cDon\u2019t mess with us!\u201d by pursuing criminal charges, either as above if it\u2019s qualification fraud or under our general criminal laws for other types of fraud.\u00a0<strong><strong>A recent example is provided by the case of a fake radiographer who misrepresented her qualification to get employment and has been sentenced to 2,000 hours\u2019 periodical imprisonment.<\/strong><\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Disciplinary action:<\/strong>\u00a0You should also consider disciplinary action against the employee, with dismissal a distinct possibility in appropriate cases. Note that specific legal advice is essential here to get it right.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Claim damages:<\/strong>\u00a0You may well also have a claim against employees for any losses flowing from their fraud. For example,\u00a0<strong>the High Court recently ordered an employee who had claimed to hold what turned out to be a fake degree to repay everything he had earned back to his employer \u2013 over R2.2m<\/strong>. Moreover, the Court authorised the employer to execute against the employee\u2019s provident fund, and that\u2019s really going to hurt the fraudster\u2019s retirement plans. Note that pension and provident funds are normally protected from creditors but not from claims for \u201cany damage caused to the employer by reason of any theft, dishonesty, fraud or misconduct\u201d. As a final mark of its displeasure, the Court ordered the employee to pay costs on the punitive attorney and client scale.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Disclaimer:<\/strong>&nbsp;The information provided herein should not be used or relied on as professional advice.
