Seattle Seeks $13 Million From 900 Overpaid Police Employees
x/seattle-based
— 6d
Seattle mistakenly overpaid more than 900 police department employees about $13 million in retroactive raises after using 2020 rather than 2024 salary rates. The city says it will negotiate with the police union over repayment and is tightening oversight; the union has filed a grievance, and the recovery process remains uncertain.
