A senior university employee, who worked from home, was sacked after claiming to have worked for five hours, despite having logged in for only 11 minutes.
Sharon Wiltshire was sacked from her senior finance co-ordinator role at Bath Spa University after bosses found 'major discrepancies' in 53 of the hours she had logged on her timesheets.
It was heard during a tribunal, held in Bristol, that these inconsistencies only appeared when the senior finance staff member worked remotely.
The Bath Spa University employee offered various explanations, many of which were disproved by bosses, before claiming her data had been 'altered'.
She was sacked after management found that she was guilty of falsifying her timesheets but Ms Wiltshire took the institution to a tribunal, alleging unfair dismissal.
