Bill > A02676

This bill amends the New York Civil Service Law to ensure that state employees designated as managerial or confidential receive salary increases that are at least equal to the highest percentage general salary increase given to any bargaining unit. Specifically, these employees will automatically receive a salary bump matching the highest percentage increase granted to any union group. Additionally, if a bargaining unit receives a lump sum payment instead of or in addition to a salary increase, the managerial and confidential employees will also receive the largest such lump sum payment. The term "managerial or confidential" refers to state employees under Article 14 of the Civil Service Law who are not part of a traditional union bargaining unit but who play critical administrative or sensitive roles in state government. The bill aims to provide fair compensation to these employees by ensuring they are not left behind when other state workers receive salary increases. The legislation will take effect on the first of April following its enactment.
