The New Federal Offenses You Aren’t Looking For
Two new offenses have been added to the list of federal offenses that each employer needs to be aware of. The first is identity theft, which, as of July 2005, became a federal crime. This makes sense in light of the fact that 13 people suffer from identity theft in this country every minute. The second offense includes the use, manufacture or distribution of methamphetamine. Meth use is epidemic in the workplace, with 12.5 million adults admitting to have used it at some time. Read more about the growing problem of methamphetamine crimes.
