A Georgia man who allegedly faked a coronavirus diagnosis to his employer, leading the business to temporarily shut down, is facing federal charges.
Days prior, the company had told employees that if they have the virus they would receive paid time off while they quarantined."The Company’s Human Resources Manager reviewed the excuse letter and observed some indicia of fraud," according to the affidavit."For example, the letter stated that Davis was discharged on November 10, 2019, months before the purported admission date. The letter was unsigned. The letter did not appear to be on formal letterhead.
Out of an abundance of caution, the company shut down for cleaning, and at least four workers had to quarantine.
