Bell parent BCE fires ‘small number’ of employees who falsified workplace attendance

BCE Inc. said it terminated a small number of employees for intentionally and repeatedly falsifying workplace attendance, a code-of-conduct violation. The issue is primarily a governance and internal controls matter rather than a financial or operational update. Market impact should be limited unless more widespread misconduct is disclosed.
