BEND, Ore. (AP) — Officials say St. Charles Health System in Central Oregon accidentally overpaid thousands of employees a total of $2 million and is demanding employees pay that money back. Oregon Public Broadcasting reports employees were told Thursday of the total amounts allegedly owed. Scott Palmer of the Oregon Nurses Association said the amounts range from less than $100 to as much as $3,000. More than 2,300 employees apparently owe some money to St. Charles. The pay issues stem from a ransomware attack on Ultimate Kronos Group, a technology company that runs St. Charles’ payroll system. Scott Palmer of the Oregon Nurses Association said their members have received little evidence that the hospital system overpaid employees.
