But the inspector general's report said its review could not validate the overtime pay was justified, either, because the division lacked the documentation that would support the overtime hours.
The report released Tuesday said the "majority of the solid waste truck driver reports" reviewed by the inspector general from October 2022, February 2023, June 2023 and July 2023 "were typically incomplete or illegible and rarely signed by a supervisor."
"Therefore, it would be impossible to verify the regular and overtime hours worked by many solid waste employees, not only the subjects of this investigation," the report said.
The city Public Works Department, which is over the Solid Waste Division , said it will put in place the inspector general's recommendations.
