Overview
- Surveillance footage above the check-in terminal shows staff using paper cutouts of colleagues’ faces to register false attendance.
- A resident whistleblower surnamed Li reported the practice to higher authorities in October after noticing irregular check-ins.
- Local officials told the complainant a formal response will come by December 31, with no public findings or disciplinary action disclosed to date.
- The committee’s secretariat, also surnamed Li, was accused by the whistleblower of organizing the cheating scheme.
- Oversight questions persist, including how many employees took part, how the footage was accessed, and the status of any investigation at the residents’ committee, whose staff receive allowances rather than civil-service salaries.
