NYCHA Employee Slept on the Job

February 1, 2010

LVT Number: #22430

Former NYCHA employee, who worked as a motor vehicle operator, sued for review of NYCHA’s decision to terminate his employment. The court dismissed the case. NYCHA reasonably determined that there was employee misconduct by finding that the employee drove agency vehicles unsafely, slept while on duty, and failed to report an arrest. The findings all were supported by substantial evidence, including testimony by the employee’s coworkers and supervisors.
