COMPENSATION OF PROBATION OFFICERS, COURT SERVICE STAFF MEMBERS AND RELATED
COURT SERVICE PERSONNEL; REIMBURSEMENT; TRAVELING AND OTHER EXPENSES (§
16.1-238)

The compensation of probation officers and other court service staff members
appointed in accordance with subsection B of § 16.1-235 shall be fixed by the
governing body of the city or county in which they serve. They shall be paid out
of the county or city treasury. One-half of such compensation shall be
reimbursed to any city or county from funds appropriated to the Department. Any
funds from the Department of Criminal Justice Services or from other public fund
sources outside of the provisions of this law which are used in compensating
such personnel shall not be considered state funds.
		Compensation of all other probation officers and related court service
personnel appointed in accordance with subsection A of § 16.1-235 shall be
fixed in accordance with Chapter 29 (§ 2.2-2900 et seq.) of Title 2.2.
Personnel transferred from local and regional court staffs shall suffer no
reduction in pay and shall transfer into the state program all accrued leave and
other benefits allowable under Chapter 29 of Title 2.2. Probation officers and
related court service personnel appointed in accordance with subsection A of §
16.1-235 shall be paid necessary traveling and other expenses incurred in the
discharge of their duties.
		The salary and expenses provided for personnel appointed in accordance with
subsection A of § 16.1-235 shall be paid by the Commonwealth, and no part shall
be paid by or chargeable to any county or city. The governing body of any county
or city, however, may add to the compensation of such personnel such an amount
as the governing body may appropriate not to exceed 50 percent of the amount
paid by the Commonwealth. No such additional amount paid by a local governing
body shall be chargeable to the Department of Juvenile Justice nor shall it
remove or supersede any authority, control or supervision of the Department.
