    Overtime or Regular time?

    First of all I'm not criticizing, I just want to educate myself because I am a taxpayer. I have noticed in the past couple of weeks while walking my dog, West Seneca parks trucks driving around and also parked at about 5pm-7pm. Once one was parked on the Mill st park for some time and a few other times workers were sitting in their trucks at the Soccer park. All times there seemed to be 2 people inside the truck. If the workers are just working a second shift and taking a break that is completely understandable but if workers are getting overtime for this I would have a complaint. Thank you for reading.

    How far are these locations from the department?

    When I worked summers for the Town of Amherst there were so focused on not having overtime that we would literally drive to the neighborhoods near the department and then wait for 10 minutes or so before we drove in. This ensured that OT did not happen but it also ensured that the day was shortened by 30 to 45 minutes depending on where in the town you were working.

    those 2 people you speak of make minimum wage and are in charge of picking up the parks after 330, and cleaning up and locking the bathrooms up at night at the parks where there are bathrooms. if i had to guess, the reason there are 2 is for safety purposes, or training.

    19 Employees make more than $80k a year. Do you think it's an accident that a garbageman makes in the 70s?

    Sorry, 20 employees make more than $80k a year and 43 employees make more than $70k. Names of the employees removed and no police were included in the results. Source: http://seethroughny.net/payrolls

    Last year, the legacy cost for town employees excluding former police was $3.4 million. Source: http://seethroughny.net/pensions

    You need to include benefit/health care costs to give the true pay per employee

    Thank you for the input WNYFIRST. Last week I was at the Soccer complex again this time watching a nieces soccer game at a field near the second shifters parked truck by the concession stand. No work being done that I observed, for the approx. 90 minutes I was there.They got out of the truck a few times, talked to some people and went to the rest room. The truck did not move during that entire time. It just seems very arrogant of them to do that in front of the many taxpayers of West Seneca. Hopefully a Town employee will read this and tell them to at least drive around and look busy. LOL

    I assume you would have to FOIL the request to ask.

    Anyone know the average cost of the health care package WS employees receive for their salary?

    I'm pretty sure in Cheektowaga many employees receive a family plan that tops over 21k+.. Correct me if I am wrong.

    So when an employees says they only make $65,000 a year they are intentionally leave off the 20k+ along with what they are paid in pension contributions.

    I see your town is losing population just like Cheektowaga. -2.7% since 2000
