I don't get it --- I guess that depends on what you're saying. If you're saying that your time sheets show you working more hours than you actually worked, then your supervisor was dishonest in signing anyway if he/she knew that info. He/she could be liable to the employer for the amount of the money paid wrongfully. If you knew and said nothing, then theoretically you could held liable.

On the other hand, if your time sheets show that you worked LESS than you actually did -- then you should call a lawyer asap. Because they owe you for the time not paid and may owe you double or triple damages.
