Hundreds of Bucks County government employees are expected to be missing from their jobs Friday morning. Three hundred union members are set to strike after almost a year without a contract.

About 200 additional workers are also without contracts, but aren't legally eligible to strike. Those include 911 workers. The county says it's prepared to make sure services continue without delay.

Penn State University will pay $703,742 in back wages and interest to dozens of female employees who alleged they were paid less than their male counterparts, the U.S. Department of Labor has announced.

Individual payouts to the impacted women range from $2,432 to $47,241.
