Bill > S01724

This bill amends the New York Civil Service Law to require public employers to provide specific notifications and access to organizations representing managerial or confidential state employees. Within 30 days of hiring, promoting, or transferring such an employee, the public employer must notify an advocacy organization with details including the employee's name, address, job title, and work location. Additionally, the bill mandates that these organizations be allowed to meet with the employee during work time without charging leave credits, with meeting arrangements coordinated with the employer. Furthermore, if the employer conducts new employee orientations, they must provide the advocacy organization mandatory access, with at least 10 days' notice (except in urgent, unforeseeable circumstances). The term "managerial or confidential employees" refers to a specific designation under subdivision seven of section 201 of the Civil Service Law, which typically includes employees in management roles or those with access to sensitive organizational information who are not typically covered by standard union representation. The bill aims to enhance communication and representation for these specific categories of state employees.
