During a review of the Weekly Report of Overtime by Burns Security for the period January 8-14, 1988, the inspectors observed that an unusually large number of security force members were failing to report for scheduled duty on 1 each of the three shifts. The security shift sergeants had to make post assignments by using volunteers who, on an overtime basis, in many cases, were just completing an eight hour tour of duty. Further review of the overtime records found no evidence of forced overtime to make these post ,

assignment However, the number of absences' caused the sergeants to spend a significant part of the shift to ensure adequate mannin The i inspectors met with the Burns Regional Manager, Program Manager and the ;

Corporate Security Director to discuss this matter and to determine if any :

corrective actions were in progress. The Corporate Security Director acknowledged that there was a problem and stated that a consultant was being retained to study the situation. The Burns representatives ensured l the inspectors that they were trying to resolve this and other performance )

related problems.
