BILL NUMBER:S7413
Title of bill
An act to amend the retirement and social security law, in relation to exempting uniformed members of emergency services from limitations on post-retirement reemployment
Purpose
This bill exempts uniformed members of emergency services from limitations on post-retirement reemployment.
SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS Amends Section 211 of the retirement and social security law by adding the new subdivision 9. This subdivision exempts any uniformed member of an emergency service (i.e. police, firefighters, emergency medical technicians or a member of a certified emergency response team) from the requirements of existing law when seeking post retirement reemployment in any position to which the section applies subsequent to securing such previous approval.
Justification
This legislation allows employers flexibility by allowing them to issue 211 waivers internally. These positions are often difficult to fulfill when a former position holder retirees-especially with an employee that has the same breadth of knowledge in relation to the job as the former employee.
The 211 waiver currently allows employees who receive a pension to return to work after they reach their retirement qualifications. This legislation would simply cut through the red tape of the process by permitting the issuance of these waivers from those who are more knowledgeable of the position's needs and understand how they can best be fulfilled. By allowing for the issuance of in house waivers, the process becomes more efficient and insures a more apt workforce.
