Date Filed:
Friday, May 9, 2008
Settlement Amount:
$6,490,000
A settlement has been reached in a whistleblower class action lawsuit brought against Taleo Corp who is accused of knowingly causing false claims to be submitted to the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).
The whistleblower's recovery amount was not disclosed.
Originally filed in May 2008, the United States alleged Taleo's commercial list rates were usually based on a customer's actual number of employees, but that Taleo charged TSA a higher rate that was not based on the agency's actual number of employees. If Taleo had followed the normal procedure, the rate TSA was charged would have been lower.
