In September 2011, Volusia County government experienced a glitch in their payroll system. Instead of September 2011 payroll being paid, another year's payroll was direct deposited into both current and retired employee's private banking accounts.

Upon, VolusiaExposed.Com becoming aware of this glitch - we contacted Volusia County official, requesting confirmation and records on the incident.

Retiring County employees might wish to consider rescinding their banking authorizations with the county upon their retirement, as the long arm of Volusia Government reached into both current and former employee's bank accounts twice - once to deposit the incorrect payroll, and again to withdraw the money.
