Bill > S05760

This bill requires appointing authorities in the New York state civil service to provide comprehensive appointment and promotion letters within 14 days of extending an offer for a position in the classified service. The letter must include detailed information such as the type of appointment (permanent, provisional, temporary), position type, expected work duration and hours, jurisdictional class, probationary period details, starting salary and salary range, bargaining unit information, and potential salary reduction information. For trainee positions, the letter must outline the traineeship length, performance advancement requirements, review schedule, and potential progression. The bill also mandates inclusion of information about employee benefits like health insurance, retirement systems, and deferred compensation plans. If an appointee believes any information in the letter is incorrect, they can notify the appointing authority, which must then review the concern and either correct the letter within 60 days or confirm the original information's accuracy. The bill aims to provide greater transparency and clarity in the hiring and promotion process for civil service positions in New York state, ensuring that employees have a clear understanding of their new role, compensation, and benefits before starting their position.
