Correction workers at All state-run correctional facilities are covered under a settlement reached last week between the Maryland Board of Public Works and the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees Maryland Council 3. A settlement of more than $13 million was reached to resolve claims of unpaid wages due to the changing of timecards at the state’s corrections facilities after an investigation by the U.S. Labor Department. Governor Wes Moore said the federal government found that thousands of employees were underpaid for hours of work they performed. The timecard changes were made without employee knowledge or consent. Settlements will vary for each individual employee depending on how their hours were rounded up or down by the department and when they punched in and out on their timecards.
