The city of Ottawa fired two employees with "medical related duties" for submitting falsified vaccination status documents last year following a tip to the city's fraud and waste hotline, according to a new report from the city's auditor general.
Of the 210 tips and 1,187 reports similar in nature, 37 per cent came from the public and 63 per cent came from employees. A total of 61 of the 210 tips were for allegations of "unauthorized use or misuse of city property, information or time." "In both instances a supervisor had questioned the vaccination documents provided by an employee with medical related duties," Gougeon says in the report, adding management "self-reported" the two cases.
Three employees resigned from the city of Ottawa last year following tips to the fraud and waste hotline. In the third resignation case, the report says prior to leaving the city, an employee who had resigned downloaded 405 files to an external device without authorization to do so. Management recovered all city assets, Gougeon said.The auditor general's report says two employees were suspended without pay following tips to the fraud and waste hotline in 2022.
