Detroit district investigates possible ghost payrollers

From The Detroit Free Press: A payroll audit at Detroit Public Schools has turned up 257 names that will be subject to an investigation into illegal ghost employees. All of the district's estimated 13,880 workers had to pick up paychecks or direct-deposit slips in person by June 12 as a first step in determining if anyone who is not on the payroll is collecting pay. There were 37 unclaimed paychecks and 220 unclaimed direct-deposit slips totaling about $208,000.
