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!

Deadline approaching! Annual Leave conversion to Healthcare
May 13, 2020
The COVID-19 crisis has dramatically impacted all of us and worker leave balances may be more influx than ever. Our negotiated contracts with the County included a transition from the Annual Leave system to Healthcare and Vacation Leave, which provides much of the same flexibility as Annual Leave, while at the same time providing the security of being able to cash out more hours with no approval required. Another component of the conversion allows OCEA-represented employees a one-time election to convert an unlimited amount of Annual Leave over to Healthcare Leave.
