BILL NUMBER:S5707
Title of bill
An act to amend the civil service law, in relation to suspension or demotion upon the abolition or reduction of positions for labor class titles
Purpose or general idea of bill
To allow employees, who have been promoted pursuant to New York Civil Service Law Section 52(14), the ability to revert back to their underlying non-competitive or labor class title.
Summary of specific provisions
Civil Service Law Section 52(14) would be amended to add a single sentence as follows: Any employee promoted pursuant to this section shall be permitted to revert back to their underlying non-competitive or labor class title
Justification
Service Law § 52(14) was intended to allow non-competitive and labor class employees, consistent with the manner competitive class employees are treated in similar circumstances, the ability to revert back to their underlying civil service title. The proposed amendment makes that intention explicit. The amendment ensures that employees, whose experience in a non-competitive and/or labor class title enabled their promotion, will not forfeit the right and privilege to revert back to their underlying title. The ability to revert back to an underlying title is crucial in the event of layoff, furlough or other staff reduction.
