State Workers Get Thousands for Overtime, Unused Leave
More than 400 state workers, including prison physicians, received thousands of dollars for unused time off when they left their jobs in the 2007-2008 fiscal year, according to a computer analysis of payroll records from the state controller. The practice cost the state $174 million last year.
