SUGGESTED COMMITTEE RESOLUTION I
See Attachment B
ATTACHMENT A
FRIEND OF THE COURT
COURT SERVICE
INTRODUCTION/REASON
On August 4, 1983 the Board of Commissioners authorized for a six month trial period
a 4-day, 40-hour work schedule for the 13 employees of the Court Service unit. It was
estimated that an overtime reduction of 44% could be realized. Actual data (see attached)
for the five month period* of August through December 1983 shows a reduction of 42%
(209.5 hours) when compared to the same period in 1982. It should be kept in mind that
other factors such as a decrease in leave time utilized for this period in 1983 may have
contributed to the decrease in overtime. In addition, periods of extended leave during both
time periods make direct comparisons more difficult. Nevertheless, this reduction is
noteworthy in view of the fact that each month shows an increase in resolved warrants over
the same period in 1982. The number of arrests were also up in 1983 over the 1982 period
despite the fact that Officers are spending almost twice as much time in 1983 providing
security for show cause hearings (which have increased due to changes in the law). Finally,
it should be noted that the schedule has allowed for better security to be provided for the
Friend of the Court offices throughout the entire day.
REQUEST
Based on the ostensibly positive influence on overtime, increased productivity and the
favorable reception of this modified work schedule by the employees in the Court Service
unit, as well as other considerations, the Circuit Court proposes that the 4-day, 40-hour
work schedule be continued for an additional six months for the employees of the Court
Service unit of the Friend of the Court. The additional six month trial period is requested to
allow for a more thorough evaluation of the modified work schedule and its impact on
overtime and on the operation of the Court Service unit. In addition, the temporary
premium of 35 (thirty-five cents) per hour for the officer serving as "Assistant to the
Chief" is requested to be continued until such time that an appropriate classification and
salary range may be established.
*Excludes first week in August which was prior to the plan taking effect.
