He submitted timesheets indicating full shifts when he was not in his catchment area. Sustained charges included neglect of duty and conduct unbecoming a public employee.

Rigail submitted timesheets via the eCATS system that indicated that he worked full shifts when in fact he was not in his catchment area during the beginning and/or end of his shift.
