Payroll Glitch Causes Appearance of Several Deposits For Some State Employees

State employees get paid every Thursday, but on Wednesday it looked like some of them would get paid three times based on an error with the system.

Another transaction will then deposit the correct direct deposit amount as normal,” he added.
