HB69

Establishes a three-year pilot program allowing correctional facility employees to cash out part of their accrued compensatory time off.

The bill establishes a three-year compensatory time cash-out pilot program for employees working in any state correctional facility. Participation is voluntary, and employees can cash out up to 75% of their accrued compensatory time off at the end of each fiscal quarter. The program aims to incentivize good attendance, reduce overtime costs, and mitigate worker burnout. The Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation will submit annual reports on the program's findings and recommendations, including proposed legislation, to the legislature.
