For nearly six years, FOX 8 News has tracked sometimes unexplainable overtime by workers at the Sewerage and Water Board. We found that, since 2010, the amount paid in overtime grew to $9.7 million in 2014.


quote:

46 employees who earned more in extra pay than they did in base salary. One such worker had a base salary of $65,000, but made $100,000 in extra pay. We also found an employee who worked two straight 23-hours days, and another with a 24-hour work day.


quote:

an employee averaging 26.5 hours on the job, every day.


quote:

Right now city policy puts a cap on the amount of overtime someone can earn in a year, 415 hours. The Sewerage and Water Board wants the city council to raise it to 750 overtime hours.


Zurik is on the case

The most crooked organization I have ever dealt with. My company quit attempting to do business with them ten years ago. Not worth the head aches and risk of legal action.

Is anyone surprised at these findings? It is a cesspool of corruption, cronyism and nepotism.

Anyone that lives in New Orleans can drive around on any holiday and see S&WB crews out and about, usually five men for every one doing actual work. Gotta love that time and a half.

When your schedule is something like 9-3, its fairly easy to work an hour extra on each end and get 400+ hours of OT each year.
