Bill > A10392

This bill amends the administrative code of the city of New York to provide longevity bonuses for first-grade firefighters and those promoted from the firefighter rank, impacting how their pensions are calculated. Specifically, it introduces a new section that grants members with twenty-five years of uniformed service in the New York City Fire Department a bonus of five percent of their highest pay grade, based on their rank and the applicable collective bargaining agreement, added to their salary for pension calculation purposes upon retirement. For each year of service beyond twenty-five, an additional one percent of that highest pay grade is added, up to a maximum of fifteen percent, capped at thirty-five years of service. This provision aims to increase the pension benefits for long-serving firefighters by factoring in their extended service when determining their retirement pay.
