Bill Summary

For legislation to ensure pay parity for county sheriffs' correction officers and jail officers. Public Safety and Homeland Security.

AI Summary

This bill aims to ensure pay parity for county sheriffs' correction officers and jail officers in Massachusetts. It proposes to re-title these officers as Correction Officer I, II, and III or Jail Officer I, II, and III, and align their base salaries with the corresponding salary grades in State Bargaining Unit 4 covering similar positions in the Department of Correction. The bill provides for this pay parity to be implemented through equal annual increments over the three fiscal years following the passage of the legislation. During this three-year period, county sheriffs will not be required to bargain with public employee organizations representing these officers over their base salary rates, although they will remain obligated to comply with other aspects of collective bargaining agreements and Chapter 150E (the state's public sector labor relations law).
