New Gainwell Contract Fraud lawsuit

This was just filed in California and it fits exactly what everyone here is talking about with Billing Fraud and stealing from the states.

The lawyers are accusing Gainwell of illegally billing and defrauding the state clients.
The lawsuit said Gainwell fired a manager because of “her complaints to
management about two issues: (1) Gainwell’s illegal practice of billing out resources/employees across multiple contracts and (2) Gainwell’s requirement that employees work overtime, bill the client, but not pay the employees.

Gainwell’s Illegal Billing Practices

"Multiple leadership calls alleged that Gainwell could not have
resources assigned to one contract work on other contracts. Ms. Smith was turning everybody on the Denti-Cal account into double-billable resources by also assigning them onto other contracts. Ms. Smith instructed BLANK and others to bill certain employees across multiple projects. Ms. BLANK repeatedly told her that was not allowed, was illegal, and violates the contracts. Gainwell’s contracts
with its customers expressly prohibit this type of double-dipping. Gainwell was prohibited from using an employee on other accounts when this employee was fully committed to working on other projects."

I can confirm they tell you that your on-call but they aren't paying anyone. Reported to HR and they did nothing but try and push the complaint to leadership in my team. Like that won't get you fired.

It is pretty clear evidence that there are significant problems going on at Gainwell. Lots of former employees coming forward. And so many more that are afraid to do so. Gainwell is committing fraud and stealing from the states.

The place needs to be shut down.

@b7 its probably a tough gig at Gainwell.

@OP, did you just make this up completely? Not cool if you did. I’m in CA and tried to look up for this lawsuit, can’t find a single thing about it anywhere.

@d2 re:"sounds like a loser to me" The operative wording in the original post at the bottom stated, "when this employee was fully committed to working on other projects." GWT absorbed contracts originating from DXC. DXC did have those arrangements where a fixed set of staff were dedicated to a state account (contract). If indeed, in this CA situation, if that were also true, then it would also be true that those same committed/dedicated contract staff couldn't or shouldn't be recording time on another separate client account Yes, will the plaintiff prevail? Who knows but it's CA and anything can happen there.

Assigning people across accounts should be okay as long as people are recording their time accurately. Not sure what the contract says, most people do not have access to the language. I only know of one account where you cannot do this. Good luck with the lawsuit, it sounds like a loser to me.

@OP funny just seen that they're hiring for a director of ethics and compliance.

@OP Saddle up. More and more of this is going to happen. Gainwell is royally sc—-ed.

Whistleblowers unite!

And on top of that their debt of about $5B is coming due in 2027.

Gainwell is going down the drain.
