In Part One of our look at overtime paid by the state of Rhode Island in 2013, we learned that 500 state employees boosted their pay by 50-99% of salary with overtime.

Once again, sorting the RI Center for Freedom & Prosperity’s State Payroll database by overtime as a percentage of salary (but excluding “other pay”), we learn that 102 state employees doubled or better — 100-199% — their pay with overtime. Let’s list the top three recipients to illustrate what this looks like in actual numbers.

Peter R. Joyal, Sr. Maintenance Technician:
Salary: $31,167.
Overtime: $60,243.
Other Pay: $3,023.
Total Pay, 2013: $94,433.

Mario R. McClain, Community Living Aid:
Salary: $43,013.
Overtime: $81,664.
