Internal Audit
OCEA members in the Internal Audit are represented by union stewards and a professional staff of labor relations representatives. Standing together, every OCEA member in the Internal Audit plays a role in achieving better wages, retirement security and fair rights on the job.
The information below is a resource for all OCEA members in the Internal Audit. Below, you will find a list of stewards and staff representatives for OCEA members assigned to the Internal Audit. You’ll also find the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), which is the negotiated union contract that sets forth the wages, hours and working conditions guiding your employment. And you can also find updates and news from OCEA about what’s happening in your agency and across the County.
Stay informed: Union news that affects you!

OCEA Guidance for County/Court EME Program Participants During Open Enrollment
September 25, 2020
A valuable benefit offered to married or domestically partnered County employees (fulltime, regular or limited term) the opportunity to enroll in a County-sponsored health plan as Employee Married to Employee (EME). Under the EME Program, the County will pay more toward the cost of health plan rates for yourself, your spouse or domestic partner, and all eligible dependent children when enrolled as EME instead of enrolling separately. The County will pay 100% of the premium if the Subscriber (the primary insured person) is eligible for the OC Healthy Steps program and completes the program, or the Subscriber is exempt from the program, and 95% of the premium if the Subscriber chooses not to participate in the program.
