Navy Federal worker alleges firing over charges while others kept jobs

The complaint alleges that around that time, it became known the worker was under criminal investigation for transactions involving workers’ compensation claims tied to a contracting company she had an interest in as what the filing calls a “side hustle.” The alleged conduct, the filing states, “did not involve Navy Federal, its members, its accounts, or its resources.”

What followed, according to the complaint, was full cooperation with an internal investigation. The worker alleges she agreed to participate the same day the assigned investigator contacted her on September 5, 2024, sat for an interview the next day, and submitted a written statement on October 7, 2024.

A follow-up interview was scheduled but had to be postponed due to a documented medical condition, the filing states. The worker alleges she provided a physician’s note, offered alternative dates, and volunteered to do the interview by phone.

The investigator, according to the complaint, never rescheduled.

On December 6, 2024, the complaint alleges the investigator told the worker the investigation was closed.
