The estimate for nonsheriffs (i.e., employees of other state agencies) includes a differential for vacation and sick days (based on 10 days vacation and 5 days sick per employee per year, which is 3 weeks/52 weeks or 0.058.  There is no differential for holidays because courts are not open, and the pay for holidays is built into the annual salaries.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

LPR&IC Projected Nonsheriffs Staffing Level if Department of Correction takes over transport and lock-up is based on May 18, 1999, DOC memo indicating possibility of 30 percent staff reduction.
