Long Island Rail Road work rules governing overtime allowed a train car repair worker to earn 70 hours of pay in a single day and as much as $36,000 in a month, on her way to making more than $239,819 in overtime in 2023, payroll records show.

The top three overtime earners' 2023 pay slips, obtained by Newsday, illustrate lucrative contract provisions at the LIRR, where the highest earners regularly worked 24 hours or more in a row.
