New Mexico DFA: Still Working on Payroll Snafu


Santa Fe New Mexican - Several state employees spent the weekend angry at the state over a payroll snafu that left them with incorrect paychecks, overdraft fees and other financial problems that as of Sunday evening had not been resolved.
A software glitch that caused checks to be issued Friday with incorrect amounts have caused an unknown number of employees to be underpaid, while others reportedly were overpaid, according to state employees who did not want to be named.
Department of Finance and Administration officials had said Friday that they were “confident all affected employees had received their full payroll.”
“I have my family and I have bills that are past due, and I’m getting late fees,” said one state employee. “Are they going to take that into consideration?”
Another employee who did not want to be identified said he was shorted more than two-thirds of his paychecks.
Another was paid for 30 hours instead of 80 and was still waiting Sunday for the rest of his check.
One longtime employee wasn’t paid at all, although he received a pay stub showing he had been paid half of the hours he had worked.
Tim Korte, a spokesman for the Department of Finance and Administration, said Sunday that the state is working on the situation and would know more Monday about the status of the problems. Read full story here: News New Mexico
