Fifty state workers who handle vehicle registrations and titles are being offered overtime to help reduce a work backlog days after all state Division of Motor Vehicles offices were closed Friday for a furlough day.
But the DMV unit in question is still paying less overtime this summer â?? about $8,000 instead of the $17,000 paid last summer â?? said Chris Klein, the No. 3 official at the state Department of Transportation. Klein said the backlog accumulated before the furlough.
