OK Guys,........need the moral brains of Pelican.
I work for a medium size organisation ( a couple thousand employees) and have just been assigned a special project in addition to my usual workload. It's a hassle and a bore but I can still get it done. My immediate manager has instructed me to claim overtime for it, even though I have not actually worked any overtime. He has told me keep things quiet, he would sign it off and that would be it.
Call me naive, but isn't that fraud?

Comments?
I'm particularly interested in the opinions of guys in Senior Management. Does the "Nuremberg Defence" (my superior told me to do it) have any sway??

P.S. Of course I'm not going to do it.
