SAN FRANCISCO—The San Francisco District Attorney’s Office released 131 pages of payroll records to Judicial Watch on August 18. The records indicate Senator Kamala Harris and 2020 Democratic Vice Presidential nominee, making an unauthorized payment during her time as SFDA.
After numerous California Public Records Act requests, which allows the public access to any government records or documents upon request, Judicial Watch obtained the records according to their website. From January 2004 thru May 2005, Harris was paid for working 8 hours of ‘regular’ pay per day along with an additional 8 hours of pay classified as ’04U1.’
“04U1 appears to be an internal accounting code representing the ‘Inequity Premium’ incentive she received, with 04 denoting the District Attorney,” Judicial Watch states.
To understand exactly what Inequity Premium pay is, Judicial Watch spoke to an official in the San Francisco Controller’s Office.
“This ‘inequity premium’ is paid to senior attorneys in the San Francisco government and consists of an additional payment of one to three percent of the attorneys’ base salary,” states and official from the San Francisco Controller’s Office with Judicial Watch.
These records indicate that Harris was receiving this additional unauthorized payment of about one-three percent of her regular pay for 16 months.
A letter included in the 131-page report suggests that Harris’ pay was tampered with and reads:
“Hi, Johnny: Thank you for your phone call this afternoon regarding the report that PPSD is working on with regards to identifying employees who are still receiving incentive and should not have due to changes of job classification. Kamala Harris “MAAINQ” [Municipal Attorneys Association Inequity Premium] incentive should be removed as her job classification does not allow her to receive the benefit. However, I tried to removed [sic] the “MAAINQ” from her file, but the system does not allow me to do anything. Can you look in to [sic] it in addition to the split file distribution in her records that should also be removed?”
