Audit Summary
State Board of Parole Commissioners
Report LA98-21

Results in Brief


 The State Board of Parole Commissioners complied with most laws and regulations significant to its administration of personnel. In particular, the Board complied with laws pertaining to the composition, qualifications, and training of Parole Commissioners and parole case hearing representatives. However, the Board did not comply with provisions governing employee performance evaluations.


Principal Findings

 The Parole Board did not prepare performance evaluations in accordance with state law for five of six employees. Specifically, the Parole Board did not conduct probationary evaluations for new hires or employees promoting to a new job with a higher pay grade. NRS 284.340 requires agencies to prepare performance evaluations every 12 months for permanent employees. For employees with a 1 year probationary period the law requires evaluations at the 3rd, 7th, and 11th months. If the probationary period is 6 months, the law requires evaluations at the 2nd and 5th months. (page 7)
