Bill > S07207

This bill requires the reinstatement of New York City employees who were dismissed from their jobs due to COVID-19 vaccine requirements, including retirees, vested members, and those terminated without a one-year limit on return. Specifically, the bill mandates that these employees must be reinstated to their former positions with the same salary, benefits, and seniority they had before their dismissal. Employees seeking reinstatement will also be exempt from any waiver of their civil service rights. The proposed legislation aims to provide a path for workers who lost their jobs during the COVID-19 pandemic due to vaccination mandates to regain their previous employment status. The bill would amend the administrative code of New York City and take effect immediately upon passage, offering a retroactive solution for those who were terminated for not complying with vaccine requirements.
