SaskEnergy worker misused corporate fuel card

SaskEnergy says it has fired an employee who it alleges had been misappropriating a corporate fuel card for years.

The Crown corporation recently reported the discovery and estimates it lost about $30,000.

A SaskEnergy spokeswoman says employees who drive corporate vehicles as part of their job are provided with fuel cards to gas up.

The former employee allegedly misappropriated a fuel card between January 2004 and April 2019.

The worker was terminated in May and SaskEnergy says steps are being taken to recover the loss.

SaskEnergy says the matter has been reported to the RCMP and is under investigation.
