False Claims Act
For government contractors responsible for tracking time records under government procurement contracts—and for federal grantees responsible for submitting time and effort documentation to their federal funding agencies accurate timekeeping records are crucial.
For a nuclear plant contractor, the submission of false timekeeping entries over a six-year period proved to be far more serious than a simple documentation issue. On Tuesday April 23, 2024 the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) announced that Consolidated Nuclear Security LLC (CNS) had agreed to pay $18.4 million to resolve timecard fraud that occurred from 2014 to 2020.

Falsifying Timesheets for DEI Requirements
The Hierarchy submits timesheets to the Urban Affairs Coalition (UAC) that omit the name of a Caucasian laborer. Instead, the work is reported under federal grants as being completed by Black workers from “The Hierarchy.” This loophole enables UAC to fulfill its Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) goals, while the laborer does not receive W-2 or 1099 forms. In my opinion, UAC ** seems ** to have allowed its staffing company to withhold (Steal) the pay of the white worker. Urban Affairs Coalition does not generally report white-collar crime, especially when the victim is white. UAC has a history of not reporting employee theft. An employee even used a company credit card for gambling, FL vacations, and booze. She never paid UAC (the taxpayers) back for her spending sprees.
The Jacques Latoison Short Bus Math

The 7-minute time clock rule is a time-tracking method that rounds employee hours to the nearest quarter-hour increment, as permitted by the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA). This rule simplifies the timekeeping process by rounding employees’ clock-in and clock-out times to the nearest 15-minute mark. This means rounding can go up or down to the 15-minute increment.
UAC C-Suite management was aware that The Hierarchy intentionally inflates timesheet hours. Latoison rounds time increments up to the nearest full hour. In May 2023, UAC Management was informed that The Hierarchy was misappropriating overtime pay to benefit his company, justifying the act as a form of reparations.
The construction contract gross pay reported on grants is an uncalculated number.
All the grant overseers look at is Gross Pay.
Izzyan Latoison designed the system so UAC could enter in one hour at one dollar and enter $250,000 as the gross pay.
From The Hierarchy’s perspective, [Hours] * [Rate] <> [GrossPay]. 🤡
The issue of inflating hours worked on contracts is further complicated by the Hierarchy’s creation of an “SQL view” named the same as the “Timesheet table.” This change in the front-end ODBC causes the “view” to display instead of the actual table, making it difficult for auditors to identify who is responsible for the inaccurate gross pay data. They have missed the farce for ten years.
Latoison became very upset when these infractions were identified. Jacques seems to suffer from the Mandela Effect; a person suffering from it is physically incapable of admitting a mistake. Jacques claims the programmer “lacks compassion for the minority community.” Latoison admits the falsification of timesheets is intentional and driven by diversity concerns.
Willful Negligence
UAC employs a team of workers to manually enter timesheets provided by their DEI construction companies into a Microsoft Access front-end database developed by The Hierarchy, with an SQL Server backend. On my first day, Carlos Jones asked me to review his DEI reports because they were not “adding up”. I noticed that the Gross Pay was being entered manually rather than calculated automatically. Additionally, there were no controls to flag employees who worked more than 8 hours a day or exceeded 24 hours in a single day. I was informed that this lack of control was intentional, as the grants only see the gross pay, and UAC had DEI goals to meet. Since the executive team refused to allow necessary improvements to this flawed system, I implemented a calculated field to flag any discrepancies. This forced the data entry personnel to confirm any intentional overrides. The minor rounding issues are a result of Latoison’s decision to store his SQL currency fields as MONEY and his inability to understand it is wrong. He said he and his son-in-law who designed this went to SQL school for a few weeks.
This is the UAC Government-Required DEI Reports form. The “Possible Issues” popup when 1+1 <> 2. The grossly underpaid off-the-charts intelligent and driven UAC manager, to whom I reported, was stonewalled for years to straighten this out. She had the wisdom to request an audit trail of who was printing which reports to control reports being sent to the projects without her approval. Things got interesting when Latoison started going in the backend changing gross pay and budgets – the new data entry audit trail implemented showed the goings-on. Why is a tax cheat vendor UAC knows is stealing, changing the DEI financials?
The email receipts….
Using personal emails for government contracts is disturbing.
Latoison admitted that the UAC reports to the federal government use “special math” for minorities where 1+1 does not equal 2. Is it not a coincidence that every deviation results in getting paid more. For ten years dollars have been inflated to give the illusion DEI goals are on target.
Philadelphia Youth Network Intern Pay Issues
UAC admits they intentionally classify youth labor as a one-time “stipend” payment to avoid paying UAC insurance as employees. The youth enter their hours in the PYNDEX timesheet program and the UAC CAO uses the General Fund for payroll disguised as a stipend.
Children over twelve (12) years old receive a “PYN WorkReady Visa Payroll Card” debit card. Their paychecks will be deposited onto this card, which can be used wherever debit cards are accepted, including ATMs. Additionally, the youths can transfer funds from their cards directly to a bank account.
(The age limit for payroll cards varies by program but is usually at least 18 years old).
Maybe the child will be robbed at the ATM, bullied into sharing their card, buy adult items online, or withdraw cash to buy crack. Endless possibilities!
Stipends to Avoid Being Covered by UAC
There will be no payroll deductions. Since they are not on UAC’s payroll. They will need to complete a W9 form to be issued a check.
You do not want them on UAC payroll because it will cause them to be covered by UAC insurances as employees.
Since the funds being issued are from UAC general fund, UAC should treat the payment as a one-time stipend payment which is done for other programs and requires w9 form be completed and signed.
