Step Pay Plans Offer Remedy to Division of Adult Correction and Juvenile Justice Staffing Challenges (November 2020)
The Division of Adult Correction and Juvenile Justice (ACJJ) faces staffing challenges that compensation incentive plans may help mitigate. The Program Evaluation Division identified areas of acute concern within ACJJ and constructed three step pay plans for Correctional Officers, outlined two ways in which Juvenile Justice could increase pay for Youth Counselor Technicians, and generated a broad compensation plan for all other ACJJ staff. This report does not contain recommendations but provides summaries of each plan and cost estimates.
