    I hope you’re right, but I suspect a case like this will not count still because “oh the payroll didn’t work properly” means you didn’t do an audit but you didn’t deliberately do it.

  i’d imagine if an employee brings up that they’re being underpaid (perhaps anonymously), and then nothing changes then that constituted deliberate

    And sometimes they deliberately allow mistakes that occur in their favour.
