Audit results from an overtime pay study of Durham city employees generated little response from City Council members Thursday.
Durham paid city employees about $3.9 million in overtime in 2018, according to the audit.
Councilman Charlie Reese said the results were not out of line.
“The numbers are basically an average of what we’ve seen in the past,” Reese said.
Councilwoman DeDreana Freeman questioned whether overtime was being fairly offered to employees.
The audit found 67 employees were paid more $10,000 in overtime pay, including five that made at least $30,000 in overtime. The Police Department had 28 employees on the list.
