State auditor determines that Mayville State has substandard employee payroll methods

State Auditor Josh Gallion (R-ND)

BISMARCK, N.D. (KFGO) – North Dakota’s State Auditor has found that Mayville State University does not have correct training or procedures for employee payroll. Auditor Josh Gallion says university staff found that more than $175,000 was overpaid to 15 employees.

Gallion’s office also found that another $10,000 of over-payments was made to seven employees. Gallion says because university employees have varied paychecks, employees would not necessarily notice incorrect amounts on their checks.

Gallion says the school has promised to address the issues and work to prevent it from happening again.
