Some Port Authority employees getting 80G-plus for not working

The cash just keeps rolling in to Port Authority employees’ bank accounts — even after they quit working.

At least nine retired PA employees have pulled in more than $80,000 apiece this year as compensation for unused vacation, personal and comp time.

Robert Belfiore, the PA Police Department’s retired deputy chief, made just $11,000 in base salary for the year. But he was paid a total of $246,770.

That’s because he made more than $158,000 for “unused time,” which the PA defines as cash for “time such as vacation days, personal days or banked compensatory time.”

He was paid another $80,000 in an unspecified lump-sum payment, which according to the PA could include grievance awards, attendance incentives, uniform allowances or a merit raise.

Belfiore didn’t work for the agency at all in 2011. He said he retired last year.

“I’m not working there anymore,” he said when contacted by phone.

Robert Sbarra, an assistant police chief, made a total of $235,856 in 2011. More than $135,000 of that came from unused time.

Ron Marsico, a PA spokesman, declined to comment on such payouts but said an agency review is under way.
