Bill > S06935

This bill amends the New York Civil Service Law to enhance the policy of ensuring fair, non-biased compensation for all state and local government employees, regardless of their protected class status (such as age, race, gender, or disability). Importantly, the bill removes language that previously allowed employees to bring court actions regarding compensation discrimination, instead relying on other existing anti-discrimination laws. The bill provides certain exceptions where different compensation may be permissible, such as for seniority, merit, or productivity-based systems, as well as collective bargaining agreements.
