Of the two losses in the fourth quarter report from the Crown Investments Corporation, one included a SaskTel employee allegedly taking bribes to apply credits to customer accounts.

According to the report, from September to December of 2023, the employee, using their own cell phone to conceal their actions, would make arrangements with a customer to complete a monetary transaction. SaskTel company call systems are monitored.

The Crown corporation tabulated that the amount in credits given to customers equaled $6,280. The employee resigned and the matter was reported to police with results of the police investigation pending.

Among the changes being made are improved monitoring systems that would help management identify or flag unusual transactions or volumes of transactions.
