General Layoff Update
CCPOA is currently in negotiations with the state regarding layoffs in DJJ Facilities (closure of YTS), and CDCR HQ. Thus far, CCPOA has not received notice of any layoffs in institutions.
However, CCPOA has received notice of institutional redirection plans. These redirections are being implemented in order to meet the mandates of the reduced budget for the Fiscal Year 09/10. The Department plans to realize a 3%-5% reduction through salary savings by redirecting staff from “non-critical” to ‘critical” posts when the critical posts become vacant.
The Department’s intent is to have institutions identify posts which they intend to run vacant (non-critical) and those which are considered critical and will be fill through redirection from those non-critical posts. Institutions will be instructed to fill posts in the following order: (1) Budgeted Relief, (2) Redirection from posts identified in the Redirection Plan, (3) PIE, and (4) Overtime.
The state has indicated that it intends to implement these plans on or about March 8, 2010.
