The Boston Globe reports that a veteran police detective took home more than $403,000 in earnings last year, topping the list of Boston’s highest-paid employees in 2016, newly released city payroll data show.
Detective Waiman Lee had earnings that included $58,600 in overtime, more than $121,900 for police detail work, and a one-time retroactive check for $92,500 that he received last year after an arbitrator ordered the city to give detectives a hefty pay raise over a six-year period. His regular pay was about $92,500.
Police Commissioner William B. Evans made $245,300 and Mayor Martin J. Walsh took home $175,000.
