Bill > S07655

This bill amends the New York civil service law to ensure that state employees designated as managerial or confidential receive performance advancement adjustments equivalent to one-sixth of their salary range annually, provided they do not have an unsatisfactory performance evaluation. Specifically, these employees will automatically receive a salary increase each year on April 1st following a completed year of service, with the caveat that their salary cannot exceed the maximum job rate for their salary grade. The bill introduces a new protection for these employees by stipulating that performance advancement adjustments can only be withheld if an employee has received a formal written performance evaluation rating of unsatisfactory or its equivalent. This legislation aims to provide more predictable and consistent compensation for managerial and confidential state employees, while maintaining a mechanism to ensure performance standards are met. The bill is set to take effect on the first of April following its passage into law.
