Aurora Police Chief Vanessa Wilson said she has fired an officer for saying his supervisor authorized overtime pay after the supervisor told him he couldn’t put in for the time.
Wilson said Monday that she fired Officer Jordan Odneal, who put in for the pay on June 4 and 7 for completing an online training course. He indicated in the entries in the automated scheduling system that his supervisor gave the OK for the pay, according to a statement from the department.

“Of course it feels unsafe”: Colorado prisons face staffing crisis as scores of
Throughout the month of December, Gov. Jared Polis has considered asking the National Guard to help with basic operations inside the state's prisons — laundry, meal preparation, trash removal — because massive COVID-19 outbreaks among correctional officers and inmates have sparked a staffing crisis.
The number of correctional officers on leave has actually improved in recent days — it was more than 530 earlier in the month.

State officials confirmed the governor's office had conversations with the Guard about the possibility of soldiers coming into facilities on a purely voluntary basis. The governor's office said that's no longer immediately necessary because more correctional officers have returned to work.

Letter: Disabled individuals, support staff deeply impacted by pandemic - Portland Press Herald
2020 has been a year like no other. We have all gotten used to wearing masks, disinfecting surfaces and socially distancing. Most of us have taken these changes in stride. However, these adjustments have been much harder on community members with disabilities.
Locally, over 400 individuals with disabilities – including my own adult son – are served by Independence Association. These folks don't always understand why they can't do the activities they have always enjoyed. Many of their Independence Association programs were shut down for safety early in the pandemic. Community activities like volunteering and group activities with their friends were curtailed, as for us all.
2021 Increases in Washington Minimum Wage and Exempt Salary Threshold | Davis Wright Tremaine LLP
Washington labor costs are about to increase for Washington employers with minimum wage employees and, more significantly, for exempt employees currently in the salary range of $35,000 to $40,000 annually.
The Washington minimum wage applies to workers age 16 and older. Under the state law, however, employers can pay 85% of the minimum wage to workers aged 14 to 15. For 2021, that will be $11.64 per hour.
In the City of Seattle, the minimum wage in 2020 increases to $16.69 per hour. For employers with 500 or fewer employees, the employer may pay $15 per hour if the employer pays $1.69 an hour (or more) toward medical benefits and/or the employee earns $1.69 per hour (or more) in tips. The City of Seattle does not have a separate salary threshold for exempt employees.
Some Boston Police Officers Have Been On Medical Leave For Years, Costing The City Millions |
Amid calls to defund police, Boston police officers and their advocates have urged for hundreds more cops to be hired. They say that these days they're stretched thin, forced to work mandatory overtime and facing a more hostile public.
Nearly 300 officers in Boston are with the department, but they're not working. And the city is spending millions of dollars each year, to pay both the officer at home — who often earns a paycheck tax-free — and the overtime to another cop working to fill that staffing hole.
