Potential Violations of Relocation and Corporate Lodging Policies
In response to a May 2016 OIG investigation on an employee’s use of Amtrak’s (the company’s) benefits for relocation and corporate lodging, we conducted additional analysis examining company practices in this area.
Under the company’s relocation program,1 current and new management employees can receive lump-sum relocation payments for assuming new positions within the company. Employees are eligible for relocation payments when the distance between their permanent residence and new work location is at least 50 miles farther than the distance between their permanent residence and former work location.
