SUBJECT:
Director's Instruction # 208, RECRUITMENT BONUS FOR ARIZONA STATE PRISON COMPLEXES AT LEWIS, FLORENCE AND EYMAN

In an effort to appropriately staff the Arizona State Prison Complex (ASPC)-Lewis, ASPC-Florence and ASPC-Eyman, I am authorizing Correctional Officers (COs) II hired on or after the effective date of this Director<'s Instruction to receive a $5,160 Recruitment Bonus payable when they begin their assignment at one of the affected prison complexes. This recruitment bonus will be offered to employees on a one-time only basis, or payable at $100 per pay period until the total sum of the bonus is exhausted.

This bonus is conditional upon the employee remaining at one of the affected prison complexes for two years. If the employee leaves state service, moves to a non-affected complex for any reason or moves within the affected complexes to a non-qualifying classification, they must reimburse the State on a pro-rata basis. Under the circumstances listed above, if the employee has elected to receive their bonus at $100 per pay period, the bonus will immediately be discontinued.

Continuation of the program is contingent upon future funding and approval, and it may be discontinued at any time. This program may also be discontinued when the operational vacancy rate at any one of the affected prison complexes reaches an acceptable level.

The Financial Services Bureau and the Personnel Services Bureau will be responsible for tracking employees who have been awarded a Recruitment Bonus, and they will provide the Research Unit with information needed to evaluate the success of the program.

All eligible COs II will complete the Recruitment Bonus form (attachment).

Effective Date: April 12, 2003
