Adams quits overtime for NYPD, 3 other NYC agencies after alleged OT sex deal

Mayor Eric Adams wants to reign in excessive overtime in the NYPD, FDNY and two other Big Apple departments in the wake of the alleged overtime sex scandal that rocked the police force.

Hizzoner, in a directive Monday, laid out a set of new rules aimed at restricting high OT in the police and fire departments, as well as the Department of Corrections and the Department of Sanitation — just as he announced City Hall would oversee compliance. .

Adams wrote in the memo that the four departments “account for a disproportionate share of overtime spending” and that it is “the ongoing responsibility of each agency’s leadership to ensure that overtime is used responsibly and in accordance with city guidelines.” .

Three offices of the City Hall, together with the Office of Management and Budget, are tasked with collaborating with the concerned departments to reduce expenses.

“The oversight offices will work with their agencies to develop and subsequently monitor detailed overtime reduction plans, including year-over-year overtime reduction targets for each fiscal year,” Adams wrote.

The Office of the Chief of Staff, along with the budget office, specifically provides oversight of the NYPD, which has come under fire after explosive allegations that former department head Jeffrey Maddrey pressured a subordinate for sex in exchange for a huge amount of overtime.

Lt. Quathisha Epps, who connected over $200,000 in OT to be the highest-paid NYPD employee last year, accused Maddrey of sexually harassing her for more than a year — an allegation she denied.

However, the NYPD boss resigned shortly after Friday night after The Post contacted him about the bomb allegations.

Amid an internal investigation into her stunning OT gathering, Epps was suspended last week before coming forward with the allegations against Maddrey in an exclusive interview with The Post. She is fighting for her reintegration eyeing retirement after 19 years of work.

Adams did not mention the raging scandal in his memo.

A City Hall spokesman told The Post Thursday night that the directive, which went into effect immediately, speaks for itself.

The mayor wants each department to submit monthly reports and have monthly meetings with designated oversight offices.

A remedial plan may need to be submitted if a department doesn’t reduce overtime enough, Adams added.

He also wrote that each agency’s commissioner must “personally review” their department’s top overtime earners at least once every three months “to ensure that overtime is distributed fairly and to avoid potential abuses.”

“Control of the use of overtime, including paid compensatory time, shall be the direct responsibility of the commissioner of each agency,” Adams wrote in one of the new directives. “Approval for such use of time may be made only by agency personnel reporting directly to the agency commissioner.”

He noted that each agency can still give overtime to its employees to “meet the demands of emergency services.”

But he cautioned, “the use of overtime to meet the demands of emergency services may require a reduction in non-emergency overtime if such emergency costs cause an agency to spend over its plan without prior notice.”

NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch spent most of her first month of cleaning work within the department, including high-profile staff moves.
