Several hundred employees of the state Department of Transportation weren't inadvertently short changed today.
"It looks like about 250 people only got half of their check," State Controller Robert L. Powell said. "Right now we're trying to identify what happened, why it happened, and we're preparing another payroll today to make those people whole."
Powell's agency operates the new "Beacon" payroll system. Pat Stith reports. He said there had been relatively few glitches since it was installed at the DOT last December and gradually extended to other state agencies.
Powell thought today's problem was an anomaly.
"I don't really know know why it happened," he said. "What I do know is we're going to make those people whole today."
