"Emplois payés sans travailler" or maybe "Ghost job"


Explanation:
These are jobs where you get paid (and even receive benefits) but don't do the work, where you don't even have to show up. (Sounds a bit like politicians, or here in Canada, like Senators, doesn't it?...)

"McCall Audit Finds Lax Oversight Results in No-show Jobs at Adirondack Correctional Facility
"(...) We found ten Adirondack Correctional Facility employees who earned a full-time salary and got medical and pension benefits, but rarely worked,""
http://www.google.com/search?q=cache:www.osc.state.ny.us/div...

"Politicians got paid at no-show jobs

Miami-Dade County Public Schools paid local politicians for jobs in which they didn't always have to show up."
http://www.miafla.com/111599a.html

I cannot find an equivalent in French. The following may or may not be the same thing, as it means a job that doesn't really exist:

"GHOST-JOB TRIAL ENDS IN AIDE'S CONVICTION

A federal jury in Chicago deliberated little more than four hours Tuesday before convicting Gregory Swan,
a low-level political consultant, in ghost-payrolling and kickback schemes. "
http://www.freerepublic.com/forum/a267542.htm

"Les détournements peuvent prendre de multiples formes : la collusion entre un employeur et un employé, qui s'entendent pour créer un emploi fantôme : l'employé ne travaille pas, et les deux partagent la subvention;"
http://www.hrdc-drhc.gc.ca/arb/publications/research/subsidi...

That's all I can find. I hope it helps you anyway.
