Lawsuit filed over paid time off for New Mexico judicial employees
NEW MEXICO (KRQE) – The New Mexico court system is suing the state over what it claims is interference with how it pays its own employees. The Administrative Office of the Courts said the state is illegally meddling in the way judicial employees are paid for time off, enforcing restrictions on when workers can use leave, and not allowing it to roll over year after year.

They said the courts should be able to make those decisions. “We think we tried hard to talk this through with DFA and work through our concerns and their’s. But unfortunately, that didn’t work and it didn’t leave us other options,” said Director Karl Reifsteck, Adminsitrative Office of the Courts.
The Department of Finance and Administration said AOC’s policy is illegal and that it is the state’s job to oversee that spending.
