18 | 18 | | 59.52 (8m) and 111.70 (4) (bn) of the statutes; relating to: classifying county |

19 | 19 | | jailers as protective occupation participants under the Wisconsin Retirement |

22 | 22 | | Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau |
---|
23 | 23 | | Under current law, participants under the Wisconsin Retirement System |
---|
24 | 24 | | (WRS) whose principal duties involve active law enforcement or fire suppression or |
---|
25 | 25 | | prevention and require frequent exposure to a high degree of danger or peril and a |
---|
26 | 26 | | high degree of physical conditioning are classified as protective occupation |
---|
27 | 27 | | participants. Current law classifies police officers, fire fighters, and various other |
---|
28 | 28 | | individuals as protective occupation participants. Under the WRS, the normal |
---|
29 | 29 | | retirement age of a protective occupation participant is lower than that of other |
---|
30 | 30 | | participants and the percentage multiplier used to calculate retirement annuities is |
---|
31 | 31 | | higher for protective occupation participants. |

41 | 41 | | SENATE BILL 28 |
---|
42 | 42 | | This bill classifies county jailers as protective occupation participants without |
---|
43 | 43 | | a requirement that their principal duties involve active law enforcement or active |
---|
44 | 44 | | fire suppression or prevention. The bill defines county jailers as persons employed |
---|
45 | 45 | | by a county whose principal duties involve supervising, controlling, or maintaining |
---|
46 | 46 | | a jail or persons confined in a jail, regardless of whether the jailers have been sworn |
---|
47 | 47 | | regarding their duties or whether they serve on a full-time basis. |
---|
48 | 48 | | Under the bill, county jailers who become protective occupation participants on |
---|
49 | 49 | | or after the bill's effective date and are employed by a county that did not classify |
---|
50 | 50 | | county jailers as protective occupation participants on July 1, 2022, are required to |
---|
51 | 51 | | pay all additional employer costs resulting from their classification as protective |
---|
52 | 52 | | occupation participants, including the cost of the duty disability program. County |
---|
53 | 53 | | jailers who were classified as protective occupation participants before the bill's |
---|
54 | 54 | | effective date and county jailers hired on or after the bill's effective date in counties |
---|
55 | 55 | | that did classify county jailers as protective occupation participants on July 1, 2022, |
---|
56 | 56 | | are not required to pay the additional employer costs. The bill also allows a county |
---|
57 | 57 | | jailer to elect at the time of hire not to become a protective occupation participant. |
---|
58 | 58 | | Finally, under the Municipal Employment Relations Act, public safety |
---|
59 | 59 | | employees may collectively bargain over wages, hours, and conditions of |
---|
60 | 60 | | employment, and general employees may bargain collectively over only an annual |
---|
61 | 61 | | percentage wage increase that does not exceed the annual percentage increase in the |
---|
62 | 62 | | consumer price index. Under MERA, public safety employees and general employees |
---|
63 | 63 | | may not be in the same collective bargaining unit. The bill amends MERA so that |
---|
64 | 64 | | a county that treats a county jailer as a public safety employee on the effective date |
---|
65 | 65 | | of this bill shall continue to treat any person it employs as a county jailer as a public |
---|
66 | 66 | | safety employee except that, if the county subsequently raises a question regarding |
---|
67 | 67 | | the appropriateness of including county jailers in a collective bargaining unit |
---|
68 | 68 | | containing public safety employees, no person the county employs as a county jailer |
---|
69 | 69 | | may be treated as a public safety employee. |
---|
70 | 70 | | Because this bill relates to public employee retirement or pensions, it may be |
---|
71 | 71 | | referred to the Joint Survey Committee on Retirement Systems for a report to be |
---|
72 | 72 | | printed as an appendix to the bill. |
---|
73 | 73 | | For further information see the state and local fiscal estimate, which will be |
---|
