DOJ OIG: Investigation of Overtime Payments to FBI and Other DOJ Employees Deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan

An Investigation of Overtime Payments to FBI and Other Department of Justice Employees Deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan, December 2008

  • “This investigation began in October 2007 when an FBI employee (who asked to remain anonymous) alleged to the OIG that FBI agents were paid for working 16 hours per day, 7 days per week (112 hours per week) while they were stationed in Iraq, regardless of the number of hours they actually worked. Based in part on a second complaint received by the OIG in February 2008, we expanded the investigation to include a limited examination of overtime
    practices by FBI employees in Afghanistan. The OIG further expanded its investigation when it learned that employees of ATF, DEA, and USMS working in Iraq or Afghanistan had also been claiming pay for as much as 16 hours per day, 7 days a week.”
