AUDITORS’ REPORT DEPARTMENT OF CHILDREN AND FAMILIES FOR THE FISCAL YEARS ENDED JUNE 30, 2007 and 2008

At the Connecticut Juvenile Training School there has been abuse of timesheets by supervisors as it relates to documentation of time worked (see statement below from State Auditors report for Department of Children and Families). In 2011-12 other incidents of CJTS management abuse have flourished on the DCF Plantation i.e. a building # 4 Unit Leader (UL) Supervisor was given time off by a superior even though the UL had no time occurred for such leave. Therefore, CJTS management is still playing games while making Youth Services Officers toe the line and be subjected to policies & procedures to a sickening degree. This is a form of discrimination that this website is dedicated to fighting.

13. The Department should institute procedures to ensure that all employees accurately complete their timesheets and work the number of hours for which they are paid.
Comment: Our review disclosed that a supervisory business office employee at the Connecticut Juvenile Training School worked an average of twenty minutes less per day than the hours recorded on his timesheet.  For one business office employee working an alternative work schedule, the hours worked did not match the hours recorded on the timesheet and varied between fifteen minutes to one hour for eleven of the twenty days reviewed.  We also noted frequent extended breaks and lunches among the business office staff.
