Need advices. I am suppose to graduate mid last year, but I failed 1 module.
Instead of immediately applying for next semester, I took leave of absence, and started working.
I lied on my résumé that I’ve already graduated. And my employer did not ask to see my certificate. Straight to the point. Company manpower audit is coming this April, but I won’t be able to complete my course until May.
During the audit, my company is known for contacting previous employers to verify if certain certificates are valid, and will also sometimes ask for WSQ cert printouts. And will even go to MOM or ITE or BCA etc… to check validity of safety or technical certificates of employees.
So what do I do if they contact NUS and find out that I’ve yet to graduate? My employment contract did have 1 sentence that outlines that “all information are true and correct to the best of my knowledge”.
Should I submit my 2 weeks notice? Hoping that since I’m not there they won’t audit me. Can they sue me for it? Also the job is paying pretty good, and I do see myself building a career here.
Here are what netizens think:
- Whats the different between you and apnn from overseas that has a fake degree
- if you are here to find more ways to cheat then you got the wrong place. Everything come with consequences, if the company found out it is up to their discretion to deal with you, the options are as follows: 1)retain you if you prove yourself to be good. 2) terminate you because you got character issue 3) Sue you cos the clause is there for a reason. Next time don’t lie because every lie will need more lies to cover up. hope is a lesson for you.
- It’s like you already know what’s the right thing to do, yet you’re still wasting our time from reading that essay.
- You better own up to it or you will honestly cause the company to fail the audit. And then the company will be forced to take legal actions against you for fraud because you have caused harm to the company due to this fact alone. Doing it before the audit, the company might still have some leeway, and thus be a little more forgiving.
