Philadelphia Health Department, dudes, dudettes... What's up with this? We just read in the Daily News about how you let one of your restaurant inspectors work only one day a week so he could collect a second paycheck as a Washington, DC health inspector.
Apparently, George J. Zameska, an environmental-health administrator in charge of food inspections, collected a $86,047 annual salary from the city of Philadelphia while only working one day a week. Reports obtained by the Daily News indicate that Zameska took a new job with the DC Health Department last year with a salary of $88,545. Zameska had a retirement party in Philadelphia last year... and remained on Philadelphia's payroll. As the News puts it:
It appeared they facilitated the dual employment by providing Zameska with a one-day-a-week work schedule that did not conflict with his duties in the nation's capital.
All in all, Zameska made nearly $175,000 a year thanks to the Philly Health Department looking the other way. Stay classy, Philadelphia.
