MADISON, Wis. (AP) -- Potential abuses in Wisconsin state employees working overtime will be examined by a legislative committee this week.

An audit released last month found that the state has paid more than $187 million in overtime to workers since 2005.

The Legislative Audit Bureau recommended that the two agencies with the most overtime - Corrections and Health and Family Services - analyze their overtime use and come up with ways to reduce it.

The state Office of State Employment Relations has said it would work with both agencies to analyze overtime use as recommended in the audit.

The Legislature's Audit Committee will discuss the report at its Thursday meeting.
