Rule 3 - Bailiffs - Compensation ClaimsIf a part-time bailiff is necessary, a district or an associate district judge may employ a part-time bailiff to be compensated at an hourly rate of $8.00 per hour or as otherwise provided by the Supreme Court pursuant to 20 O.S. 2011, §125:
(a) one part-time bailiff for a district or an associate district judge who was appointed or will be appointed pursuant to an order which is on file and who is to be paid at the current rate of $8.00 per hour.(b) one per-diem bailiff for a special judge whose employment stands authorized by a written order of the presiding judge of the judicial administrative district which order limits the number of days the bailiff is to serve at the current rate of $8.00 per hour.(c) any person employed at the current rate of $8.00 per hour as a second bailiff for the duration of a trial in which the jurors have been ordered kept together overnight.(d) any person employed as a bailiff at the current rate of $8.00 per hour temporarily to take charge of a jury being empaneled before a judge while another jury is deliberating upon a verdict that is to be returned to the same judge.(e) when a judge is assigned to hold court outside of his judicial district or in the case of an associate district judge serving outside of the county in which he regularly serves, or when a retired judge is assigned to hold court, a bailiff may be appointed for such judge in the county of the assignment and for its duration if the order of assignment so authorizes. The order of assignment shall be attached to the claim to afford a basis of authority for payment of such bailiff's compensation. The bailiff so authorized shall be paid at the current rate of $8.00 per hour. No part-time bailiff may be paid compensation for services unless rendered while actually attending the court or having charge of a jury. No district judge who sits in more than one county may employ more than one full-time bailiff in his judicial district. Another bailiff or bailiffs, if necessary, may be engaged by such judge on a per-diem basis while he is holding court in a county other than that in which a full-time bailiff is employed.
