Agency's employee attendance policies come under fire
The Pasco County Housing Authority in Florida is facing a lawsuit related to its time and attendance policies, according to the St. Petersburg Times.
The suit alleges that a maintenance man who earned more than double his salary in overtime over a period of eight months was granted extra hours by former executive director Karen Turner. Bill Dillon accrued more than 1,000 hours of overtime between October 2007 and May 2008 - considerably more than the second highest earner, who logged 240 extra hours.
Dillon maintains that the excessive amount of overtime was due to his undertaking of a major renovation of the agency's headquarters, which he completed largely by himself.
The news source reports that the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development is currently conducting a comprehensive audit of the agency's finances in a bid to uncover any further irregularities pertaining to employee attendance records.
Turner resigned earlier this month amid allegations of sexual misconduct and mismanagement, in addition to the ongoing overtime-padding.
