Wilburn LM093591 Associate Director Office of Administration and Finance AcrxON BEST DOCUMENT AVAILABLE. Dear Mr. Wilburn: As part of our continuingVexamination of fiscal procedures at the Peace Corps we have examined a selected number of pay records for the period Jan6ry 10 through January 23, 1971, for employees paid by its Washington office. The leave records for these employees were reviewed for calendar year 1970. We found that a number of clerical errors were made in maintaining the leave records, and noted serious procedural weaknesses in the payroll system. ,Details of our findings follow: Pay and leave records We selected for one payroll period a random sample of 100 of the 932 employees payrolled by the Peace Corps Washington Office. Except for two errors amounting to $144 involving the failure to act on employeest waivers for life insurance,we found discrepancies only in the records relating to leave. For five employees,errors resulted in overpayments of $208 and under payments of $688. We brought these errors to the attention of agency officials who took corrective action. We noted 13 other errors involving potential over and underpayments of 4966 in reviewing the leave records. Errors in the leave records included: --Failure to reduce leave accrual when leave without pay reached a multiple of 80 hours. --Undercredit of annual leave due to failure to change leave category at the proper time.
