Tom Green County has approved overtime pay for jail staff.
The Standard-Times reports the sheriff saying his office has lost three employees to oil field work in the last 10 days.
Sheriff David Jones says the law requires the jail to have 15 staffers for each shift. Because of last year's 46 percent turnover rate, he says many workers have had to report for duty outside their normal shifts to meet that mandate.
