Some workplace trends are obvious enough that they don’t need surveys to prove them, but the evidence they find is often cited by employers to launch clampdowns.
It is worrying then that a poll by GlobalExpense has found that around three in ten workers exaggerated the figures when they claimed expenses from businesses.
Out of the offending third, about 40 per cent said they found it acceptable to add a sneaky nine per cent extra, shows the poll, obtained by The Mail on Sunday.
But an equal number of workers believe there’s no harm in inflating their claim from anything from 10 to 25 per cent, the results show.
The poll found that out of the unethical sample, a rogue six per cent of respondents were even worse, saying they could see nothing wrong in adding up to 50 per cent of the original expense.
