Correctional officers… this came up in the quarterly meeting.

We've thrown all sorts of things at the “staffing crisis” here and the number of recruits is up but the turnover rate is still north of 50%. As part of the bargaining I've been mandated to do a market analysis. So you may hear from me 😊

For now pay remains the same – CO I $41,600 - $64,542; CO II $46,363 - $72,176. But they earn considerably more than this with shift differential and overtime. (Our CO's do not carry weapons and do not need to be sworn law enforcement)


  *   A new scheduling design included facility-specific 12-hour, “50/50” schedules that are more predictable and stable. As part of this schedule change, staff work seven days in a 14-day pay period. This allows staff time to rest, recuperate, and spend time with family. Currently, four of our six facilities are utilizing this system. The others are slated to join in the first half of 2023.


  *   Retention Bonus (2 payments each - $1,000 to all Classified facility staff, October 2022 and April 2023)


  *   New Hire and Academy Progression Bonuses ($1,000 at hire, $500 at Academy completion, $750 at end of original 6-month probation, and $1,000 after 1 year of service)


  *   Recruitment Referral Bonuses ($100 at Academy completion, $150 at end of original 6-month probation, $250 after 1-year of DOC service)


  *   Shift Bonus ($3/hour for facility shifts worked)


  *   Standby Bonus ($1.50/hour for facility transport and hospital standby)


  *   Training Hour Credit (80 hours for Corrections Bargaining Unit employees), this results in eligibility for accelerated step program


  *   Premium OT for straight time OT earners working in facility security positions.


  *   New bargained shift differential increases ($2.00 second shift, $2.50 third shift)

Greetings,
If your state has recently provided any form of targeted pay adjustment for Corrections Officers, or if you are planning anything along these lines, please send me a note summarizing the change.

We are considering some adjustments based on competition with the county units in our state, and we have been hearing about adjustments in other states.  I would appreciate any information that you can provide.

Thanks,
