An employee or vendor must make a reasonable attempt to ascertain the correctness of any information that the employee or vendor reports. It is the practice of Metra not to allow retaliation for good faith reports of wrongful conduct, fraud, corruption or waste. It is, at the same time, unacceptable to knowingly file a false report. Any employee who knowingly violates this prohibition will be subject to discipline in accordance with Metra policies up to and including termination. Any vendor who knowingly violates this prohibition will be subject to discipline in accordance with Metra policies up to and including debarment.
