| Dishonesty is a serious offense which has no place in the judiciary.[17] Each false entry in the DTR constitutes falsification and dishonesty.[18] The falsification of a DTR constitutes fraud involving government funds. It bears stressing that the DTR is used to determine the salary and leave credits accruable for the period covered thereby. Falsifying one's DTR to cover up absences or tardiness automatically results in financial losses to the government because it enables an employee to receive salary and earn leave credits for services which were never rendered.[19] | |||||
