Employee Resigns After Investigation Finds Policy Violations for Engaging in Outside Employment While on Medical Leave of Absence

An Amtrak lead service attendant based in Los Angeles, California, resigned from her position on March 7, 2025, in lieu of an administrative hearing. Our investigation found that the former employee violated company policies by engaging in outside employment while on a medical leave of absence and continuing to receive Railroad Retirement Board (RRB) sickness and supplemental sickness benefits during that time, and by making false representations in support of her RRB and unemployment insurance claims. The former employee is not eligible for rehire.
