Started a new Exec Sous job this week, one of the duties of the chef is to approve all clock-in's and clock-out's for all BOH employees, at the time of punch in/out I need to put my manager number into the computer and approve their punch in/out.
There are several cooks that work the morning shift on one name and number, and then work the evening shift on different name and number, obviously to avoid paying overtime. With me needing to put my manager number in to approve these punches, I am very uncomfortable.
My specific concern is, to whom do I report this to?
Is there any recourse for an employee being directly asked by their employer to do something illegal? TIA!
EDIT: Located in Illinois & I have sent an email to the state DOL general inquiry address
