Falsifying your time card is typically grounds for immediate
termination anywhere. Whether you made an honest mistake or
purposefully padded your time and pay is up to your employer
to decide. If your employer has elected to terminate your
employment and has shared the reason with your co-workers,
they may. It may be unprofessional of him to do so but no
laws require that the reason for an employee's separation be
kept confidential.
