Heavy overtime boosts pensions for deputies

The Seattle Times reports on the special class:

King County sheriff's deputies who have more than doubled their income by working overtime will continue to reap a windfall when they retire.

One deputy, who has averaged more than 1,600 hours of overtime in each of the past five years, has more than doubled his pension to at least $6,800 a month compared with $2,800 for a deputy who had not worked overtime, based on current salary numbers. Pensions are based on a deputy's five highest-paid consecutive years.
