Home Health & Hospice Week

You might want to look within your own ranks for your biggest financial threat. That's a lesson that Junior's Loving Care Services in Albany, Ga. has learned the hard way. Seven people are charged in a payroll theft scheme at the home health agency, reports WALB News. In the scheme, bogus employees were put into the system, checks written, cashed, and the money split, the station says.

The scam siphoned about $15,000 from the company over five years, WALB says. "I guess to make a long story short, we trusted them too much," owner Richard Henderson told the station about his office manager and other long-standing employee who headed up the payroll theft ring.
