City employee fired after AG discovers employee was working elsewhere while calling in sick

City auditor general Ken Hughes tabled his annual report on the fraud and waste hotline on Thursday, shedding light on theft, lawbreaking and peculiar behaviour in the municipal public service.
Seven employees were fired and seven others resigned after the AG investigated tips from the snitch line in 2016. More employees had their knuckles rapped by management.
The AG’s office collected 287 tips from the hotline in 2016, with the most coming in the area of misuse of city property or time.
