Several employees from Franklin County's Public Works Department are back at work after being put on paid administrative leave for two weeks as police investigate a fraud case.

Six employees returned to the department last Thursday.

Two other employees - the department's director and deputy director, are still on paid leave.

The eight employees are not being accused of any wrong-doing.

Dennis Huston, the county's former director of accounting and administration, is suspected of stealing more than $1 million of county money.

Huston has not been charged.
