Negotiated Settlement Agreement, Combined Tenth and Eleventh Semi-Annual Report December 2008 identified supervisor or manager, working the same schedule and having the same days off as the individuals whom they supervise.” Status: In Policy, Training, and Full Practice Compliance Actual Practice Compliance: The IMT found the Department in full compliance with actual practice in February 2008. Deliverables © Department General Order A-3, Department Organization ¢ New Departmental General Order A-19, Supervisory Span of Control IMT Audit Summary During this reporting period, the IMT conducted an audit of actual practice compliance with this task and found OPD 100% compliant with both requirements of the task. Not only is this achievement a stark contrast to the practice in place when the Agreement was initiated, it also contrasts with the last reporting period, when this audit could not be completed because OPD was unable to provide the basic operational data necessary to conduct this assessment. The requirement of clear and close supervision is critical both to OPD’s operational effectiveness and its system of accountability. OPD’s compliance with this task is thus an important step towards reaping the benefits of its reform efforts. Task 19.1 requires a single, clearly identified supervisor or manager for each member or employee. The IMT was able to clearly identify a single supervisor for each of OPD’s 1,015 members and employees as of June 1, 2007: compliance was 100%. OPD is doing very well in assigning a single, clearly defined supervisor to its officers. Task 19.2 requires that sergeants work the same schedules as the individuals they supervise. The IMT found that of the 665 members and employees reporting to a sergeant as of June 1, 2007, 86 had a schedule that varied by more than two hours or worked some different days than their sergeant. In addition, 15 members and employees had schedules listed on the organizational charts as “varies.” (Most of these employees were annuitants conducting background checks.) The remaining members and employees (85%) worked the same schedules as their sergeants or had a schedule variance of two hours or less. The review showed that each instance of a schedule variance greater than two hours or with different days off was justified by the nature of the member/employee’s assignment, including his/her duties and the level of supervision otherwise being provided. The IMT found the Department in 100% compliance with this task. Task 20: Span of Control for Supervisors * Settlement Agreement Section IV.
