RESPONSIBILITY Facility heads are responsible for: • Implementing this SOP and ensuring staff members follow it • Establishing, in field memorandums, the number of jobs for incarcerated individuals at their facilities • Establishing a budget for incarcerated worker pay at the beginning of each fiscal year • Whenever possible, budgeting for incentive pay using revenues from the inmate management fund or work projects STANDARD PROCEDURES 1. Introduction This SOP establishes standards for job categories and pay scales for incarcerated individuals who work in institutional jobs. Only job categories and pay scales authorized in this SOP are permitted. New job categories must be added to this SOP before being used in the institutions. Idaho law states that all persons committed to the custody of the IDOC perform labor under the rules established by the Board of Correction. However, placement in an institutional job is not a right but a privilege that can be terminated at any time. Incarcerated individuals may receive incentive pay for hours worked based on the pay scale established in this SOP. Incentive pay allows them to earn money for child support, restitution, commissary, family needs, release, or cost of supervision (COS). 2. Prison and Work Camp Institutional Jobs Job Categories The job categories for prisons and work camps are as follows: Job Categories Administration Maintenance Education Medical Food Service Programs Housing Recreation Institutional Labor Detail (ILD) Religious Activities Laundry Control Number: 611.02.01.004 Version: 4.0 Title: Incentive Pay for Residents and CRC Workers Page Number: 3 of 5 Skill Levels and Pay Scales Incentive pay scales for institutional jobs in prisons and work camps are based on skill level with a corresponding pay differential. The full list of job categories available in the Corrections Integrated System (CIS) “work assignments module”, are identified in Appendix D, CIS Work Assignment Job Titles. Pay is based on the following skill levels: • Low--(Examples: basic labor and entry-level in higher skilled positions.) • Basic--(Examples: general worker such as janitor, kitchen help, etc.) • High--(Examples: lead worker, lead cook, etc.) Pay Scale by Skill Level Skill Level Prisons Work Camps Low 20 ¢ per hour 50 ¢ per hour Basic 30 ¢ per hour 70 ¢ per hour High 40 ¢ per hour 90 ¢ per hour 2. CRC Institutional Jobs Job Titles and Pay Scales The full list of job titles available in the Corrections Integrated System (CIS) “work assignments module”, are identified in Appendix D, CIS Work Assignment Job Titles. Incentive pay scales for institutional jobs in CRCs are shown in the following table by job title: CRCs Cook $110 per month Cook, lead (only one position) $132 per month Driver $110 per month Driver, lead (only one position) $132 per month General worker (such as janitor) $110 per month Maintenance $132 per month (Nampa CRC only) Southwest Idaho Treatment Center (SWITC) Equipment Lead $120 per month Grounds $100 per month Grounds Lead $120 per month Housekeeping $100 per month Irrigation Lead $120 per month Laundry $100 per month Maintenance $100 per month Maintenance Lead $120 per month PWCC CCU Cook $110 per month Driver $110 per month Control Number: 611.02.01.004 Version: 4.0 Title: Incentive Pay for Residents and CRC Workers Page Number: 4 of 5 General worker (such as janitor) $110 per month Maintenance $132 per month 3. Correctional Industries and Vocational Work Project Jobs For incarcerated individuals working at Correctional Industries, pay scales are set by Correctional Industries. For those working vocational work projects, job titles and pay scales are found in SOP 611.02.01.003, Vocational Work Projects, Inmate Selection and Crew Management. 4. Work Hours Incarcerated individuals are paid for hours worked but cannot work more than 60 hours a week or 252 hours a month. Unless there are job performance issues during a pay cycle, they should be paid in accordance with this SOP. Monthly rate positions can be prorated if it is not considered a full-time position. Under exceptional circumstances, facility heads can extend the number of hours an incarcerated individual can work. 5. Application and Hiring Process Each facility must publish a field memorandum explaining the facility’s application and hiring process, which must include reviews by case manager, medical, and security staff. The facility head or designee may require incarcerated individuals to work or they can request to work by submitting Appendix A, Incarcerated Worker Application. Work coordinators will keep applications for 90 days. If someone does not get hired in a position within 90 days, they should submit another application. Newly hired individuals should normally be paid at a lower pay rate until they have completed a probationary period, normally not to exceed 60 days. Exceptions must be authorized by a deputy warden or equivalent. Workers will be paid monthly. The hiring supervisor must complete the process to ensure that workers are paid on the payday established in SOP 114.03.03.012, Payroll Processing: Offender. The hours worked will be entered into CIS in the “labor hours” screen. The deputy warden or designee may then review the “Payroll Hour Report” in CIS and approve it to be paid by the account technician or designee. 6. Special Awards Those who perform exceptional service, which is not part of their regular assignment, may be eligible for a special incentive pay award. Special incentive pay cannot exceed $20 per award and cannot be awarded more than twice each year, for a total of $40 annually for any incarcerated individual. A deputy warden or equivalent must approve each special award. Work supervisors must provide written justification for each request. Services that could be considered for this award are: • Specific suggestions that result in substantial improvement or cost savings to the facility • Specific exceptionally meritorious or outstanding job performance Control Number: 611.02.01.004 Version: 4.0 Title: Incentive Pay for Residents and CRC Workers Page Number: 5 of 5 DEFINITIONS Incentive Pay: Payment to incarcerated individuals for performing work at a correctional facility, which is at the sole discretion of the Department REFERENCES Appendix A, Incarcerated Worker Application Appendix B, Monthly Work-area Pay Calculation Appendix C, Incarcerated Worker Time Sheet Appendix D, CIS Work Assignment Job Titles Department Policy 610, Correctional Industries/Inmate Job Assignments Department Policy 611, Work Projects Idaho Code, 20-242A, Inmate Incentive Pay SOP 114.03.03.012, Payroll Processing: Offender SOP 611.02.01.003, Vocational Work Projects, Inmate Selection and Crew Management IDAPA 06.01.01, Rules of the Board of Correction, Section 611, Business With Inmates and Labor of Inmates – End of Document – IDAHO DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTION Resident Worker Application Appendix A 611.02.01.004 v4.0 Revised 07/03/2019 IDOC Data Sensitivity Classification - L3 Restricted Inmate name: IDOC #: Housing assignment: Custody level: Physical restrictions: Date: (Good for 90 days) Check only one (1) box in the following table (submit additional applications if applying for more than one (1) category): Job Categories Administration Maintenance Education Medical Food Service* (See Staff Section) Programs Housing Recreation Institutional Labor Detail (ILD) Religious Activities Laundry Other Describe your experience and qualifications: Education (highest grade completed): Inmate’s signature IDOC # Date ************************************************************************************************************* – Staff Section – Parole eligibility date: Full-term release date: Case manager: Approved Denied Case manager signature: Associate number: Hiring authority: Approved Denied Hiring authority signature: Associate number: *Medical Review: (food service jobs): Cleared Not Cleared Security Review Approved Denied Security issues: Security staff signature: Associate #: IDAHO DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTION Monthly Work-area Pay Calculation Appendix B 611.02.01.004 v4.0 IDOC Data Sensitivity Classification - L3 Restricted Facility: Month: , 20 IDOC # Inmate’s name Amount 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17. 18. 19. 20.
