The Social Security Administration paid a judge for four years after he was arrested for assault, costing taxpayers $500,000.
The inspector general for the administration released an audit last week documenting abuses of the paid time off system. The audit identified 46 federal employees who received an average of 2,000 hours of paid administrative leave over a seven-year period.
On average, the employees were paid for 261 days to not work, which amounts to a full employment year.
In one egregious case, an administrative law judge (ALJ) was paid for 865.75 days after he was arrested for drunkenly assaulting a female security officer. The judge still earned his roughly $125,000 salary while he was suspended.

ReplyDeleteExamples like this makes one wonder, if we're not going to uphold the law, why bother with a cumbersome legal system? Seems like the corruption is just running rampant these days even in the places where we look for solace and justice. If there is no justice why have a system to pretend like we do?
