Social Networking Site Reveals Workers’ Compensation Fraud

Most professionals use LinkedIn to showcase their experience, stay connected in the business community and perhaps land that dream job one day. For Kandice M. Klink Jones of Columbus, it didn’t work out so well. Instead, her LinkedIn profile tipped off her employer that she was working when she was supposed to be off work due to a workplace injury, an injury that was costing the employer thousands of dollars in workers’ compensation benefits. The employer asked the Ohio Bureau of Workers’ Compensation to investigate, and now, following her guilty plea Monday, Jones has a felony record and a bill for $12,938 owed to her old employer, American Nursing Care Inc.
