About 40 employees of the Department of Human and Social Services were relieved when handed their ASG paychecks today, a week after the rest of ASG got paid.
Acting Treasurer Ueligitone Tonumaipea explained that all payroll funds in the account used to pay those affected have been depleted. He said the department had to juggle around other expenses to come up with enough funding to cover the paychecks.
Tonumaipea said he was not aware of the problem with DHSS checks until he was notified by the Governor’s Office. The paychecks were issued this afternoon.
