CHICAGO – More than 600 off-duty Chicago police officers who also work part-time as school security officers have experienced withholding errors on their paychecks.
Social Security contributions were not deducted from their pay, possibly for years. In November, they were sent a letter outlining a schedule for them to repay the missed contributions, but an official from the union representing the officers says it is not willing to have its members’ salaries docked.
