Legal Question in Employment Law in California

I have been at my company for 9 years and we are ran by a board of Directors and have a President of the Company and an Operations manager. I do the payroll and the Finances. The old Operations manager got ill and they decided to have the President of the company's son take over as Operations Manager (no qualifications or experience on running a business). He piles the work onto the Clinic Manager and myself and gets paid way over the amount he should be for being an under-qualified Operations Manager. In fact he also collects mileage for running errands and plays with a cat in his office and he does not do the job in which he is paid for. My question now that you have some background. Could I or the Clinic Manager get in any trouble knowing his salary is way over the amount he should be getting not to mention not doing the job he is supposedly being paid for. Who could we tell that the daily workload is falling in our laps?? Who holds him accountable for ripping the company of thousands of dollars he collects for sitting there?? We don't have connections to the board of directors not to mention the mother is vice president and the father is the president of the Company�I would hate for auditors to ask me or the Manager why we never said anything before? We don't know what kinda of legal trouble we could get into if they asked..Please advise
