The Federal Law Enforcement Officers Association is urging Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson to reconsider his department’s decision to suspend a troubled overtime program, the Washington Post reports.
The overtime was halted last week after a federal investigation found widespread abuse of the “administratively uncontrollable overtime” – as it’s called.
The pay was intended for agents who do urgent, unexpected work.
An internal investigation found that abuse of the pay cost taxpayers between $8 million and $37 million a year, the Post reported.
