Federal prosecutors have opened an investigation into employee timekeeping in the nation's largest transit system.

Federal prosecutors in New York have opened an investigation into apparent exorbitant overtime pay at the Metropolitan Transportation Authority — the state-operated transit agency responsible for trains, buses, and subways in and around New York City — according to a New York Times report.

The Times reports that federal prosecutors in the Southern District of New York are examining the timesheets of Caputo and more than a dozen other employees who work at the transit systems in New York City and Long Island. MTA board members and union representatives have previously clashed over suspicions about lucrative overtime pay at the agency.

Part of the fault for the runaway overtime hours could be attributed to a recordkeeping practice that dates back to the 19th century.
