Rajesh, a Junior System Administrator with the MIS department, clocked in 4 minutes and 27 seconds late for work one morning. Rajesh usually gets the perfect attendance incentive and he requires it, as his salary alone isn’t sufficient for his living. Rajesh had reached his office on time however he got held up with his immediate superior while he was buying coffee outside the office. As a Junior System Administrator, Rajesh has access to and the capability to edit the company’s attendance records. He figures that since he was unable to punch in only because of his boss, it wouldn’t hurt to edit the timestamp on his attendance for today.  Do you agree that Rajesh’s action was ok? Give the reasons for your answers ?
