Mark Szot, former HR director for Luzerne County, PA, acknowledged that he lied about how long he had worked at a former employer and that he did not disclose information on another employer that fired him.
Szot also acknowledged asking his friend to pose as an employee of Golden Living Nursing and Rehabilitation Centers even though his friend did not work there. When contacted by the county human resources department, Szot’s friend confirmed that Szot worked there as a regional human resources director from January 2003 to April 2016.
Szot worked at Golden living only from November 2007 to March 2009. Szot said he agreed to resign less than a month after starting when the county approached him about the misinformation he provided them.
