EMPLOYEE TERMINATED FOR THEFT OF COMPANY FUNDS

An Amtrak Red Cap/Baggageman based in Chicago was terminated from employment on July 21, 2022, following his administrative hearing. Our investigation found that the former employee violated company policies by failing to remit parcel check revenue for cash paying customers on 22 occasions between March 18 and March 26, 2022 and kept the cash for himself instead. We also found that he falsified a parcel check form in order to remit only half of the revenue he collected and was observed putting the cash in his pocket.
