A Trackman/Watchman based at Sunnyside Yard, New York, resigned on June 22, 2022, prior to his disciplinary hearing for time and attendance violations. Our investigation found that, between February 2020 and June 2021, the former employee improperly claimed and accepted payment for hours he did not work in violation of company policies. A Driver, also from Sunnyside Yard, admitted to us, however, that he clocked out for the Trackman/Watchman on approximately seven occasions and confirmed that the employee left work early on various occasions. The Driver resigned on June 21, 2022. Both employees are ineligible for rehire.
