73 TTC employees fired so far in ongoing benefits fraud scandal | Toronto Star
peace said:Maybe I am naive, why would they be punished if they are entitled to those benefits as agreed between the union and employer?
Blank_Dave said:Basically the company and employees were filing for services that were not rendered. So they were being reembursed for orthotics that they neither received nor paid for.
peace said:Thanks Dave. Now I understand. Shouldnt the company be penalized as well? SO TTC is only after its employees or taking on both? The insurer?
Thanks Dave,Blank_Dave said:If you go back and read the article, Health Fit, the company providing the false serves, has been criminally charged. So the TTC doesn't have to deal with them. So the TTC, and the police, still have to investigate the employees. Separate investigations BTW, as they have different standards to meet to take action on their part.
Then of course the insurance company may seek legal action as well.
