Bogus exes fall in wake of MPs' row; SURVEY.MILLIONS of workers are more reluctant to claim fake expenses after the storm over MPs' claims. Research shows 43 per cent of us now think twice before claiming for something we should not. And while 29 per cent just think the boss is looking more carefully at claims, 15 per cent know for sure that their expenses have become the subject of extra-special scrutiny Scrutiny (Fr. scrutin, Late Lat. scrutinium, from scrutari, to search or examine thoroughly) is a careful examination or inquiry (as though there was a mistake). . More than one in 10 have even had a warning memo from managers. Market research site www.OnePoll.com used 5,000 workers in the study. A spokesman said: "Thanks to the MPs who claimed for everything and anything, the topic has really been brought to everyone's attention." |
