“…she allegedly used information records of at least four former workers to pull off the scam, which came to light only after one of those former workers took concerns to the restaurant’s owner…created the accounts, 
“clocked in” workers to show they worked certain hours and then forged their names on the resulting paychecks…”
The manager of the Jerseyville McDonald’s restaurant was charged this week, accused of theft for allegedly using former workers’ information to create bogus paychecks that she cashed for herself.
The amount of money involved is likely in the tens of thousands of dollars, although Jersey County State’s Attorney Ben Goetten said the case still is being investigated.
“This should be a wake-up call to other business owners out there,” he told The Telegraph.
Officially, the amount of money taken is listed in the charge as between $10,000 and $100,000.
The alleged victim, Lora Dover of Carrollton, said she became alarmed after being told by Medicaid that she was not eligible for her latest disability check because of unreported income from 2012. Turns out, she had not worked at the McDonald’s in 2012.
