Some Fort Worth officers can legitimately complain this week about being underpaid -- and have city officials agree.
The city owes money to hundreds of its police department employees after a computer glitch shortened paychecks.
A spreadsheet miscalculation overcharged nearly 700 workers for health and life insurance benefits.
"The extra amount deducted varied," city spokesman Jason Lamers told the Fort Worth Star-Telegram. "I’m told it did not exceed $50, and that the majority were overcharged $25."
Lamers said the employees can expect to see a credit on their next paychecks.
Two weeks ago, the city overpaid officers by almost $1.8 million, the Star-Telegram reported. The city quickly issued new paychecks and withdrew the money that had been electronically deposited.
