I'll leave aside the question as to whether individuals faking their 52 hours is "ethically or morally wrong". For Zenefits/Parker to facilitate and encourage their staff to do it is most certainly ethically wrong. Telling your staff that they should cheat the rules, sign a false document and perjure themselves is completely unacceptable. Zenefits employees face the risk of jail time because they did what their CEO told them to do - that should never happen and Parker deserved to go for that reason alone.
