Based upon the facts that you have written about as to false time submission on a time sheet to one's employer, the crime is fraud and possibly could be deemed a felony if the amount over paid exceeds $250.
If convicted of a felony, the punishment is more than six months in jail and a fine exceeding $1,000. Given what you have written about, I suggest that you consult with a criminal defense attorney for assistance.
