Overtime is high for several reasons, says Metro general manager Chuck Kamp:
?Metro employees are exhausting sick leave time, taking advantage of the federal Family Medical Leave Act and have high rate of absenteeism without pay.
?For example, use of the medical leave act by Metro employees jumped 44 percent to 28,340 hours from 2008 to 2009, Kamp said, calling it "the driving factor" for overtime last year.
Source: Dean Mosiman, "Madison Metro driver highest paid city employee," Wisconsin State Journal, February 7, 2010.

Yet he made more than the Mayor of the same city, more than the Police Chief.
so whats the solution? don't give them sick time? no overtime? people are talking like its the guy salary but he had to work many man long hours to get that pay. seems to me they just need to hire more drivers..
