WILKES-BARRE -- There are more payroll problems in Luzerne County.

According to county leaders, workers who get life insurance and short and long term disability will not get paid their direct deposits Friday.

County Budget and Finance Director Brian Swetz said a glitch caused an entire year's worth of insurance deductions to be taken instead of one.

Employees will get manual paper paychecks instead.

This is the second payroll snafu in Luzerne County in recent weeks.

On Black Friday, 1,200 workers did not get their paychecks, and it was a mistake later blamed on human error.

A budget analyst was fired for not sending out direct deposit checks before going on vacation.
