TDCJ reports their average employee hourly pay rate is $13.94 (average annual salary of $29,000 divided by annual working hours of 2,080) In fiscal year 2004, TDCJ expended $3.3 million for overtime payments.
No data is available for the average amount of compensatory time that is currently forfeited by departing TDCJ employees, or for the average number of compensatory hours taken by employees. This fiscal analysis assumes that all hours worked in excess of forty hours a week will be valued at 1.5 times the hours earned, and equalizes across fiscal years the cost of paying out accrued compensatory time to employees separating from employment.
The estimated cost per year to implement the provisions of the bill would be $32,635,759 ((average hourly rate of $13.94 X overtime pay rate of 1.5 X average monthly compensatory time accrued of 143,216 hours X 12 months) minus $3,300,000 for fiscal year 2004 overtime payments = $32,635,759).
