In simplest terms, buddy punching refers to the practice of an employee utilizing a clock-in, clock out system, typically the point-of-sale computer systems, to punch in their friends, co-workers or roommates when they are not working those hours or even that day.
Most cases involve just a couple hours here or there over the course of a week or payroll period, but if multiple employees are involved, it can quickly add up to thousands of dollars in lost wages. Over the course of a summer season, it could and does add up to tens of thousands of dollars in lost profits.
