Bugs continue for Michigan state worker expense reimbursements
LANSING – Michigan state government continues to struggle with bugs in a new payroll system that is hindering thousands of employees who are owed money for out-of-pocket expenses.
The government has fixed issues in the new, $178 million Statewide Integrated Governmental Management Application, or SIGMA, system that affected employees' timesheets, Kurt Weiss, a spokesman for the State Budget Office, said Friday.
