Employers as well as employees have been known to commit workers compensation fraud…
The owner of a New York pizzeria
who employed three people off the books was arrested for workers compensation fraud, according to the New York State Insurance Department.The man is accused of knowingly submitting false documentation to the New York State Workers Compensation Board stating he had no employees so he could avoid paying workers comp insurance.

Investigators from the Insurance Department's Frauds Bureau and the Office of the Fraud Inspector General of the Workers Compensation Board discovered he actually employs two people who work inside the pizzeria and a delivery person.
The individual could be sentenced to up to four years in prison if he is convicted. He is charged with workers comp fraud and offering a false instrument for filing.
