NYC Fire Department v Gill, OATH Index #1871/10

Although the New York City Fire Department sought the termination of Harold Gill’s employment as a firefighter after he tested positive for cocaine in a random drug test, OATH Administrative Law Judge Faye Lewis recommended that the termination be stayed to permit Gill to retire in light of his unblemished 29-year record of service with the Department.

ALJ Fay also recommended that the Gill pay a substantial fine.
