Feds may be investigating timecard issues at Hanford vit plant
The Department of Justice appears to be taking a look at timecard issues at the Hanford vitrification plant, after reaching settlements with Hanford tank farm contractors.
The Herald recently obtained copies of emails reportedly sent to workers at the vitrification plant in July and August instructing them to preserve all information and emails regarding charging for labor, recording time worked, overtime and related matters.
An Aug. 24 email sent from “Legal and Risk Management” said the preservation of information was related to a civil investigative demand regarded the Hanford nuclear reservation’s vitrification plant. The demand was issued by the Department of Justice to Bechtel National, which holds the Department of Energy contract to build the vitrification plant, the email said.
The Aug. 24 email instructed that documents be preserved related to the recording and charging of hourly labor, including union labor, from January 2009 to the present.
