Report I2010-1045: California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation and California Correctional Health Care Services: Both Agencies Wasted State Resources by Improperly Accounting for Leave Taken by Their Employees (Release Date: June 2013)
Case Number I2010-1045
Recommendation #12 To: Corrections and Rehabilitation, Department of
Establish a system of oversight at headquarters and at each adult correctional facility to ensure that personnel specialists are charging the correct number of leave hours for those nonmanagerial, exempt employees working an alternate
work schedule.
Agency Response From February 2014
Corrections provided us with copies of completed audit forms that it used to identify and correct mischarged leave in its leave accounting system.
California State Auditor's Assessment of Status: Fully Implemented
Agency Response From November 2013
Corrections created a new system that it hopes will provide the recommended level of oversight of the work of its personnel specialists. This system calls for monthly auditing of a sample of time sheets, at headquarters and at each correctional facility, to identify errors in the charging of leave, correcting any errors identified, and providing training to prevent the identified errors from recurring. After the system has been in operation for awhile, we will examine it to determine where it complies with our recommendation.
