The Jail Division primarily hires permanent, part-time Corrections Officers to fill its vacancies. Most permanent, full-time Corrections Officer vacancies are filled by employees who have previously worked as part-time officers. Permanent, part-time Corrections Officers are assured to be scheduled at least 40 hours of every 80 hour pay period. Additional hours can be obtained by filling in for staff absences, which often results in part-time employees working full-time hours.
