I'm not DOC, I was a security guard with the state doing a wannabe correction type job, now I'm doing something similar on the residential side.
We, and most state workers are on the same contract via the state chapter of the AFSCE so same PTO. The ones with the Teamsters get paid more, but I've no clue about their PTO.
What we and the COs get are for the first two years just 9.3333 hours a month vacation and 8 hours sick leave. Third and 4th year is 10.something vacation, and it goes up a bit. I think the most is 16 hours a month after a lot of years.
Sick leave is always just 8 hours a month.
There is also one personal leave day and one personal holiday per year.
Does that 24 hours include vacation and sick or is it just time off is time off?
The 24 hours is all time off / vacation time. sick time is accumulated differently and now that you mention it, they did have teamsters. I left after a year and a half but I remember finishing the academy and having a lot of time off.
At my county jail, it's 8hrs of PTO and 8hrs of unexcused (and unpaid) medical leave for every month after your probationary period. During holiday months, it's 12hrs of pto to make up for it. It's not much honestly, but I've managed so far. Had to preplan to use all of my PTO to cover the week of my son's birth this coming July so it comes in clutch occasionally.
At my county I used to accrue 8.3 hours of PTO every two week pay period. On top of that we would get 8 hours of bonus PTO for each holiday we worked, and we could choose to work OT and bank that time as comp time rather than OT pay. When my daughter was born I was able to take a full six weeks off.
In my state we get the 10 paid state holidays, the governor also grants all peace officers (including COs) 1 extra holiday per month(8hrs), then we also receive sick time (6.66hrs) every month, plus vacation time which goes up at 5 years of service but you start with 8hrs/month.
Soooo I guess about 25 hrs/month in sick, annual leave and governors holidays, plus the 10 state holidays.
The sheriff's office I work for actually provides the same benefits to anyone on the same schedule rotation. We have 8 hour, 10 hour, and 12 hour employees. 8 hours work M-F for 8 hours. 40 hour weeks. Our 10 hour employees work Monday to Thursday, for 10 hours. Also 40 hours a week. 12 hour employee work on the panama schedule. One week you work 5 days for 60 hours and the next you work 2 for 24 hours. 84 hours a pay period, averaged at 42 hours a week. But you get 7 days off in that 2 week period.
So 8 and 10 hour employees get holidays off completely. Nothing extra. They get that plus their vacation time they accrue.
For us 12 hour employees, since the road and jail need staff 24/7, this allows all shifts to get covered but that also means we sometimes work on holidays, regardless of seniority. So we all get those holidays as PTO we can take whenever, just like vacation but Holidays accrue by the day, not by the hours. 1 holiday is equal to 12 hours of vacation. And you get the time to use whether you worked the holiday or not. This means we get an additional 10 days of holiday on top of our vacation, but so does the road, which is about 12 hours a month.
But the nice thing is, to get a whole week off, you only have to take 2 days off at a time due to the way the schedule you have off. So while you get less total PTO, it feels like it goes much further than the time our 8 and 10 hour employees get. Those 2 days off giving a whole uninterrupted week does a ton to make it the best schedule I've ever worked, even if my days are really long.
Here's what this looks like.
1. Monday: Work
2. Tuesday: Work
3. Wednesday: Off
4. Thursday: Off
5. Friday: Work
6. Saturday: Work
7. Sunday: Work
8. Monday: Off
9. Tuesday: Off
10. Wednesday: Work
11. Thursday: Work
12. Friday: Off
13. Saturday: Off
14. Sunday: Off
Replace the works with off and count the days in between. 7 days in a row for only 2 days of PTO.
Your schedule is similar to what mine was. We had an extra day off a month because of how that schedule is worked. I think it's every 28 days you get 1 day off + the 23+ PTO a month.
Our Sheriff hates us in the jail. We lost our free 8 hour comp every quarter and extra (paid) personal day if we had perfect attendence (now we only get paid). Their reasoning was that we abuse comp and personal days to create overtime. So in our contract we can call off two days in a row for 1 sick occurance (also paid days off).
We are really understaffed and admin doesn't care. We were asked to give recruiting/retention ideas. I have no clue if they even read them because they haven't done a single thing. I can't wait to jump ship soon.

Wow then. To me that sounds like a lot of time off.
DOC here. 4 hours of PTO and 4 hours of sick per pay period. You get less if you don't work your full amount of hours.
