Bill > S08384

This bill establishes new salary, compensation, and benefit provisions for investigators, senior investigators, and investigative specialists in the New York State Police division over a three-year period from April 1, 2023 to March 31, 2026. The bill introduces comprehensive changes including graduated salary schedules with increases based on years of service and location, with different pay rates for specific geographic areas like New York City, Nassau, Suffolk, and other counties. Key provisions include longevity pay for members with six or more years of service, holiday compensation, a health benefits committee, maintenance allowance, expertise pay, professional development funds, expanded duty pay, seniority pay, location compensation, and a one-time lump sum payment of $3,000 for eligible members. The salary increases are structured to provide incremental raises each year, with additional compensation for factors like educational degrees, short swing work, and supervisory responsibilities. The bill also includes provisions for unused sick leave payments at retirement and ensures that these additional compensations are separate from basic annual salary but count towards overtime and retirement calculations. Implementation of these changes is contingent upon certification by the director of employee relations that a collective bargaining agreement is in effect.
