CALIFORNIA - An audit has found that the state corrections department overpaid employees by nearly $125,000, including two doctors who were improperly given tens of thousands in overtime. Those doctors worked at San Quentin State Prison and were paid $108,000 in overtime that they should not have received. The error was made by a clerk who entered incorrect payroll information.

The receiver, Clark Kelso, says he is confident the overtime mistake will not happen again.
