Bonuses totalling more than $1.1 million were given to 84 employees at the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) despite their being investigated by the agency’s Inspector-General, according to Federal News Radio’s Jolie Lee.
Lee said Sen. Claire McCaskill, D-MO., believes even more employees received bonuses than have been uncovered to date by her subcommittee of the Senate Homeland Security and Government Affairs Committee.
Each of the 84 GSAers has received on average eight bonuses worth on average $13,000 since 2008, according to McCaskill.
“In most cases, the IG’s office does not alert GSA about employees under investigation because the individuals are presumed not guilty until the investigation is complete,” Lee reported. For more from Lee, go here.
