The city calls it a tip line, though others may call it a snitch line.
Municipal workers in HRM are being asked to keep an eye out for wasteful or inappropriate spending and then send in confidential tips about it.
It doesn’t stop there either. A city official says it’s a precursor to a tip line for the general public that Auditor General Larry Munroe hopes to set up later this year.
The Herald reports notice of the new tip line came in the form of a note attached to workers’ pay envelopes.
