Vacation

Alternative Work Week
An alternative work week enables employees to integrate their work and personal lives more effectively and better manage issues such as commuting, continuing education, care-giving, child care, and other external obligations. JCSD is on a 9/80 schedule, which enables employees to complete working 80 hours over nine days, therefore, taking what would have been the 10th work day as a day off (every other Friday).

The Hazard Mitigation Plan (Mitigation Plan) was prepared in response to Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 (DMA 2000). DMA 2000 (also known as Public Law 106-390) requires state and local governments to prepare mitigation plans to document their mitigation planning process, and identify hazards, potential losses, mitigation needs, goals, and strategies.
