[Isle of Man] Government payroll team shortages led to maladministration

In the Isle of Man, an investigation has revealed that staff shortages in the government's payroll team led to maladministration, 3FM reports.

Angela Main Thompson - the Tynwald Commissioner for Administration - was asked to investigate payroll issues after a civil servant who held two separate part-time jobs received an unexpected four-figure tax bill.

Ms Main Thompson reportedly found that the Office of Human Resources had failed to tell the worker that they had the right to make a complaint, to disclose the time limit for doing so or inform them how to contact the Commissioner; a breach of its statutory duty.

In addition, the investigation report said that a lack of staff had also led to maladministration.

The commissioner’s findings will be laid before Tynwald - the Parliament of the Isle of Man - in June.
