NEWARK, N.J. — An Amtrak employee and his wife pleaded guilty this week for marketing and distributing over $3 million worth of misbranded drugs and unapproved new drugs, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office, District of New Jersey.
SIX EMPLOYEES RESIGN AFTER PARTICIPATING IN A TIME AND ATTENDANCE FRAUD SCHEME
One supervisor, two assistant supervisors, two foremen, and a driver based in New York City violated company policies by engaging in time and attendance fraud. All six individuals resigned during the investigation or prior to their disciplinary hearings. The former employees intentionally misused their company badges and/or created counterfeit badges that they fraudulently “swiped” for one another, via Amtrak’s time and attendance machines, to clock-in or out. The six employees are not eligible for rehire.
