Legal Question in Employment Law in Illinois
resume fraud
If an applicant for a position lies on their resume, is this considered fraud. The person in question was granted a particular pay rate based on the education level claimed. However, it has come to light that that level was never attained. Since he has been paid based on that information, and the information is false, does his action constitute fraud?

It certainly could under certain circumstances. You could also have sufficient grounds to fire the employee.
