A Paterson firefighter was fired after he was caught on surveillance video shoveling snow while on workers' compensation.
According to reports, earlier this month, Fire Captain James Reyes was fired following the court's decision. Reyes was charged with conduct unbecoming of a public employee and dishonesty in relation to a workers compensation claim.
The alleged surveillance video reportedly caught Reyes shoveling snow, bending, lifting and carrying while he was on leave due to work-related injuries.
