County employees respond to lawsuit
By Scott Halasz - shalasz@aimmediamidwest.com
XENIA The attorney for 10 Greene County employees being sued by the commissioners filed a response to the lawsuit saying the employees are not required to reimburse the county for being overpaid.
The county alleges that the employees owe slightly more than $90,000 in wages they overpaid due to Medicare withholding omissions made by the auditor’s office between 2007 and mid-2018. The lawsuit says that the auditor’s office “incorrectly believed IRS regulations did not require Medicare FICA payments if an employee retired under the Ohio Public Employee Retirement System and was originally hired by Greene County prior to 1986.”
