The Yamaguchi Prefectural Police in Japan mistakenly withheld bonuses from more than 500 officers, totaling ¥80 million.
[News Channel Now] Due to data entry errors by the Yamaguchi Prefectural Police in Japan, more than 500 police officers did not receive the bonuses they were due, totaling ¥80 million.
The Japan Broadcasting Corporation cited a police source as reporting that in Yamaguchi Prefecture, the police's payroll processing system, where "college graduate" should be entered, was mistakenly entered as "high school graduate," resulting in police officers with university degrees not being able to receive college graduation bonuses in accordance with the system.
Police said 30 million yen will be reissued, but the remaining 50 million yen are not expected to be reissued because the legal deadline has passed.
