Bill > A02743

This bill amends the New York Civil Service Law by adding a new section (§ 137) that ensures salary parity for state employees in managerial or confidential positions within the competitive, non-competitive, and labor classes of the classified service. Specifically, the bill mandates that these employees must be paid salary grade ranges that are not less than the comparable salary ranges of union-represented positions with similar job grades. An important protection in the bill is that no current state employee designated as managerial or confidential will experience a reduction in their current or prospective salary as a result of this new provision. The bill aims to create more equitable compensation for non-union state employees by aligning their pay scales with those of unionized workers in similar roles. The legislation will take effect on the first of April following its enactment, providing a clear timeline for implementation of these salary parity requirements.
