Is staffing reduced to a minimum level on holidays?
The Sheriff has discretion over staffing levels, in accordance with labor agreements. 7. Oakland Countys police contract excludes paid disciplinary leave and/or long-term disability leave after a period of five (5) working days from the definition of the 80-hour bi-weekly police service. Why does Modified Option 3 specify ten (10) working days for illness/injury and fail to address paid disciplinary leave? As currently written, the police services contract and methodology do not address disciplinary leave. Therefore, beginning in 2007, disciplinary leave would not count toward the 80 biweekly hours of regular service. The County would be responsible for funding this liability.
