Reference: Found hereBus drivers, maintenance workers and police officers may have very different jobs, but they have at least one thing in common: They often must clock some overtime.
Of the Metropolitan Government of Nashville and Davidson County's nearly 20,000 employees, 12,871 of them did just that during the 2024 fiscal year, according to records readily available on the city's open data portal . Collectively, that group earned nearly $45 million in overtime pay.
Nashville's government publishes data about both employees' base annual salaries and their total compensation, including overtime, bonuses and payouts.
Together, the top 25 received more than $1.58 million in overtime payouts. Ten of the employees in that group were law enforcement officers. Several others were bus drivers for Metro Nashville Public Schools, dispatchers or maintenance employees.
High overtime rates are not a new phenomenon for MNPD. In fact, they've steadily climbed over the past decade from $6.1 million in 2014 to more than $19 million today.
