Clicking on the OIC Penalty button on the OIC Hearing screen opens this window. The charge selected in the Charges, Pleas and Findings block is carried over to the Charge field at the top of this window. The OIC# field automatically shows the OIC#.
You can record a penalty for each charge, and stipulate whether it is consecutive or concurrent to other penalties on the same or other OIC#s.
Complete these fields:
Type: select the type of penalty from the List of Values.
M[on]ths/D[a]ys/Restitution: you can enter any combination of these fields to match the specified penalty.
C[omment]: pops up a 60-character line for additional detail.
Eff[ective] Date: specify when the penalty goes into effect; use standard date format.
Cons[e]c[utive] Ln/To OIC #]: if the penalty runs consecutively to another penalty, select the previous penalty from the List of Values. The list shows all OIC#s for the offender where penalties were imposed as well as the associated Hearing Date and Time. Selection fills both fields.
App[eal] Date Limit: record the last date an appeal can be filed against the decision using a MM|DD\YYYY format.
Status: select the status of the penalty from the List of Values; mandatory.
Click Save.
The screen displays a Ln (Line) number for each element of the gross penalty on a particular OIC#.
The save is not allowed if the total penalty amount assessed this offender is over the maximum allowable penalty, as defined for your jurisdiction.
If you are entering more than one penalty now, you must save the first penalty before making the next penalty run consecutively to it. Saving a line automatically generates a line number (e.g. Ln 1). The line number (Ln) will appear in the List of Values for the Cons Ln field.
Cons(ecutive) Ln (line)/To OIC#: from the List of Values, select the appeal penalty that this penalty will be consecutive to. If the offender has no other penalties, the List of Values will have no entries.
Click OK. The Cons Ln / To OIC# fields now display the line number/ OIC# of the penalty that the selected penalty is running consecutively to.
