Hello,
My employer asked me to fill out the Declaration of Texas Residency form for the Texas Film Commission.
http://gov.texas.gov/files/press-office/dtr.pdf
You'll note that the majority of the information on this form depends very much on the "Project Name", the first box on the form. HR instructed employees to fill out this form but leave the project name blank. I didn't want to stick my neck out by asking questions nor put my job at risk so I just did it.
I honestly do not know how my employer will alter the form, so I don't know for certain if I've maybe technically lied on the form. What if they report me as working on a project that started before I was born? Am I suddenly guilty of perjury?
My understanding is that it is not legal for my employer to alter a form above the place where I signed it. Does that shield me from legal repercussion?
What would be an appropriate course of action for me to take?
Thank you for any thoughts on this matter!
