The housing authority denies the allegations, a spokesman said.
A former employee of the North Bergen Housing Authority has accused the agency of fraud in paying out overtime to employees that did not work extra hours, a new lawsuit filed in Hudson County claims.
She alleges in the complaint that she was fired by the agency’s attorney Rose Tubito in retaliation for refusing to process overtime payments to employees, regardless of whether they worked those hours or not. Valle also accused agency director Gerald Sanzari of long-term use of agency money for personal expenses, carrying on an inappropriate relationship with a subordinate employee and improper personal use of low-income housing from the agency.
“The North Bergen Housing Authority strongly denies the allegations outlined in the complaint and our attorneys will be vigorously defending against them in court,” Bond said Friday. “As this is ongoing litigation it would be inappropriate for us to comment further at this time.” Valle claims in the lawsuit that shortly after she was approached by the accountant, she was told by Sanzari to stop paying overtime to all employees except herself and one other employee.
At the meeting, Valle claimed Tubito “verbally attacked for cutting off overtime pay” to the employees who were dismayed at the news of losing overtime.
