BART employees spent work shifts at home, costing agency thousands, investigation finds

SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) -- Investigators say three BART workers made a habit of showing up to work, clocking in and going right back home.

BART's inspector general has put out a new report that says these employees were getting paid their regular salary and overtime.

In one instance, a technician for the system's automatic fare collection system clocked in and didn't work the shift, for a total of 106 hours over 18 days last year.

That earned him more than $9,000 in falsely billed wages and benefits while not actually working.

He retired after investigators got BART police involved and is now facing criminal charges.
