31080.7.3 Institutional Leave Credit/Overtime Personnel Assignment Office Responsibilities

  • The Personnel Assignment Office has the responsibility to establish and fill all Correctional Officer, Sergeant, and Lieutenant posts including relief (with the exception of those in the Institutional Vacancy Plans). The Personnel Assignment Office shall schedule Correctional Officer coverage for long-term sick, long-term vacancies, vacations, or any other vacancy for which there is sufficient advance notice. Such coverage shall be assigned in such a manner as to avoid overtime whenever possible.

    • The Personnel Assignment Office shall have the additional following responsibilities:

      • Sick leave

        • Provide coverage for pre-scheduled/pre-approved Correctional Officer, Sergeant, and Lieutenant sick leave absences longer than one week in duration.

      • Vacation leave

        • Conduct the vacation bid process and then track the vacations for the Correctional Officer, Sergeant, and Lieutenant classifications.

        • Ensure that the coverage provided for posted position vacations is consistant with the budgeted relief for the respective classification.
