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)
