Benefits Fraud

@SkyRider.... um... yeah.... did you *read* the articles you linked???
The huge dollar amounts should have been a big clue

This has nothing to do with RMT receipts
They were making ORTHOTIC and EYEGLASS claims!

So unless your Asian R&T helps with those do not worry

I was being facetious since this is an MPA review board and the question of claiming MPA fees as a reimbursable expense has been raised in several past threads.
"The definition of facetious is a joke made about something serious"

TTC employees are overpaid and underworked with great benefits and pensions and some still want to feather their nest by cheating on benefit claims. How dumb is that?

From the OP Star article.
"In 2016 alone, the TTC saw a $5 million reduction in benefits claims from the year before. A statement from the TTC said that reflected “continued success” in addressing the alleged wrongdoing."

600 under investigation, 73 people fired from the TTC so far.

From last year Feb. 26, 2016
600 TTC workers eyed in benefits fraud investigation

Maybe TTC should offer an "amnesty" program. Confess now, pay back the money, get demoted with a pay cut and promise never to misbehave again.

Remember those TTC fare collectors making over 100g a year and they were still stealing from the till? Stupid.
 
@KBear ok this is my fav quote in articles, talk about unionized positions being valueless

"A city employee skipped out on 800 hours worth of work before anyone noticed, receiving $40,000 in pay after the worker submitted made-up time logs. The employee was fired."

And obviously IT dept is stellar

"The city bought the wrong software after computer upgrades that forced them to purchase new licences so they could use the software on the new systems. That wasted an estimated $700,000."

Remember those new platforms that were built on St. Claire or wherever. Anyway they had to be re-done because they were too high (or was it too low?) for the new trains.

Would be interesting to know how it ends for employees fired from TTC, as I would expect they hire a lawyer and fight.


Someone correct me if I am wrong, unions are not legally obligated to defend a fired employee. What happens is union board votes on whether to spend funds hiring a lawyer defending employee.

If employee is caught stealing/fraud union will not defend

The quotes said they are only firing the obvious frauds
The ones that might be fraud unless they incriminate themselves don't get fired

It also says they are pursuing recovery of money from the ex-employees as well
So I don't think court will scare them off
