TUCSON, Ariz. (13 News) – The county is reviewing some of the pay rates for Pima County Sheriff\u2019s Department employees, including deputies, corrections officers, and staff.<\/p>\n

On June 17, Pima County Administrator Jan Lesher ordered a \u201ccomprehensive review of shift differential and on-call compensation practices within the PCSD.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Pima County Board of Supervisors will discuss the review on Tuesday, June 23. They will meet in a study session at 3 p.m. and will host a regular meeting at 5 p.m.<\/p>\n

13 News will be there to tell you what comes out of the discussions, but you can watch the meeting live at www.youtube.com\/c\/pimacountyarizona<\/b><\/u><\/i>.<\/b><\/u><\/i><\/p>\n

The move comes after years of complaints from union members and Sheriff Chris Nanos about the pay scale in the county.<\/p>\n

For years, Sheriff Nanos has spoken out about the pay issues and how it makes it difficult to retain trained staff.<\/b><\/u><\/i><\/p>\n

He has said that this leads to understaffing, which forces the department to pay more overtime to cover all the shifts and areas in the county.<\/p>\n

That overtime has led the PCSD to go over its budget, which is one of several issues that have caused problems between Sheriff Nanos and the Board of Supervisors.<\/b><\/u><\/i><\/p>\n

Nanos has also said his overall budget is just not big enough,<\/b><\/i> considering he runs a large jail, how many people the department employs, and how large an area the department has to cover. He has also said inflation has caused budget issues of its own. <\/p>\n

On Friday, June 19, the Pima County Deputy Sheriff\u2019s Association issued a release and said it supports the review \u201cas a meaningful step forward \u2014 one that reflects months of sustained, professional engagement on behalf of PCSD members.\u201d<\/p>\n

The PCDSA said the PCSD\u2019s on-call rate and shift differential rates are \u201cwell below\u201d the regional average. They said some agencies pay double or triple what Pima County does.<\/p>\n

Currently, the PCSD\u2019s on-call rate is $1.30 per hour, and the shift differential rates are 60 cents for evenings and 65 cents for nights. The PCDSA has asked for an on-call rate of $2.25, an evening shift differential of $1.50, and a night shift differential of $2.<\/p>\n

The shift differential is paid on top of what the employee makes. The on-call rate is paid regardless of whether the employee is actually called in.<\/p>\n

Nanos said not all employees are eligible for the on-call rate, but the on-call staff must be available by phone and be able to arrive at work or a crime scene within an hour of being called.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe men and women of the Pima County Sheriff\u2019s Department work nights, weekends, and holidays \u2014 often on-call with no real off switch. Their compensation should reflect that reality,\u201d the PCDSA said in a release. \u201cWe are grateful that County Administrator Lesher and the Sheriff have taken this matter seriously, and we look forward to seeing this review result in meaningful improvements for our members.\u201d <\/p>\n
