EMPLOYEE TERMINATED FOR FRAUDULENTLY CLAIMING PAY WHEN NOT WORKING

A supervisor based at Sunnyside Yard in New York City was terminated on February 18, 2021, following an administrative hearing. The former employee violated company policies by fraudulently claiming and accepting payment for regular pay, overtime pay, or both during hours when he was not working. In addition, company rail pass records showed that his pass was in use on days when he also claimed work hours, indicating that either he claimed labor hours while he was on personal travel or that he allowed others to use his rail pass privileges.
