That's a guy who really loves his job

While doing some research today I came across this individual in the Auditor General of Newfoundland and Labrador's Report to the House of Assembly. For anyone who can't be bothered to find out what that is, it's a document that evaluates how the provincial government has been spending money over the past year and makes recommendations on how money can be saved or used more effectively.

A marine engineer at the Department of Transportation
and Works has been paid overtime totalling $303,000
for the five year period 2005 through to 2009 as
follows: 2005 - $31,000; 2006 - $42,000; 2007 -
$69,000; 2008 - $58,000; and 2009 - $103,000. This
employee’s regular pay during this period was
$296,000; therefore, this employee received $599,000
from the regular pay and overtime during this five year
period and received 102% of their regular pay in
overtime payments.

This person DOUBLED their annual salary through overtime work. Not only that, there's this individual. TOIL is "Time off in Lieu" which is when you take time off instead of being paid for overtime:

The regional manager of one of the Arts and Culture
Centres at the Department of Tourism, Culture and
Recreation had accumulated TOIL of $163,000 as at 31
March 2009. During the four-year period 2006 through
to 2009, this employee accumulated $88,000 as
follows: 2006 - $28,000; 2007 - $16,000; 2008 -
$19,000; and 2009 - $25,000. This employee’s annual
salary for 2009 was $55,000; therefore, this employee
had accumulated TOIL equal to 296% of their annual
salary.

Are they machines or fraudsters? Whatever the case I bet they have an interesting story to tell.
