Sick Time “B” Plan
For those deputies on “B” plan, who will get paid nothing for their unused sick time when they retire, I’m curious: What is the point of not using this time that the county gives you?
“B” plan started back around February 1997, so around Feb 2022 there should be a whole bunch of people nearing retirement, with a whole bunch of unused sick time.
It should be interesting to see what happens with all those hours, from all those deputies. Are all of these deputies going to start using hundreds/thousands of hours of their sick time? Many of these deputies with 25+ years on will be supervisors, who won’t be scared by the threat of being accused of “abusing” sick time, as newer deputies are. Besides how can someone PROVE you don’t feel well? Or will these deputies just give up the sick time that they have earned?
I know many deputies save their sick time for “What if….” But, when all those deputies near retirement time and there is no more time for having a long term injury/illness, it’s going to be a case of use it or lose it, with their remaining sick time.

Re: Sick Time “B” Plan
So you are typing this as a way of verbalizing your intent to start abusing sick time I guess. You are hoping your zone partners will support you in this so you don't feel guilty about leaving them high and dry.

I think that is the point................. when all those deputies have all that sick time that they will "use or lose" .....what's going to happen? Is HCSO going to allow the streets to be empty.....or are they going to offer to pay these deputies for their unused sick time.
If a deputy is about to retire I doubt they will feel guilty for cashing in! And, that is what will cause the problem. All those deputies cashing in (using their sick time).

Ed Turanchik, who is going to run for mayor, is largely responsible for the way things are. He wanted to make a name for himself and pointed out that vacation, holiday, and sick time was "unfunded." When people left they had lots of time stacked, now they use it. There are always unintended consequences when a politician does something "good" for us.

The poster sounds like the classic union member threatening a work slow down or stoppage to harm the public. It's all about "ME" to people like them.
Disgusting.

It's all about character hunh? Well then why don’t you show some character and do the exact same thing you are asking B plan deputies to do. Give back or donate all of you sick/comp/holiday/vacation/military time to charity, or just refuse to take it and refuse to be paid for it. ALL OF IT !!!!!
C'mon Mr. Character step up and show your character.
I didn't think so!

Re: Sick Time “B” Plan
All this talk is making me sick. I am close to retirement. I think i will go to the Doctor and get him to give me a week or 2 vacation for mental stress.
