Bill > S01722

This bill amends the New York Civil Service Law to ensure salary parity for managerial and confidential state employees. Specifically, the bill requires that employees in competitive, non-competitive, and labor class positions designated as managerial or confidential be paid salary ranges that are at least equal to comparable union-represented positions with similar job grades. The legislation is designed to prevent wage disparities between managerial/confidential employees and their union-represented counterparts, and explicitly protects current state employees from any salary reductions as a result of this new provision. The terms "managerial" and "confidential" refer to specific job classifications under New York's Civil Service Law, typically describing positions that either supervise other employees or have access to sensitive labor relations information. The bill will take effect on the first of April following its enactment, providing a clear timeline for implementation of the new salary parity requirements.
