BILL NUMBER:S4070
Title of bill
An act to amend the civil service law, in relation to reduction of positions based upon seniority with an employer
Purpose
Amends the civil service law so that sworn members of the Nassau County Sheriff's Department-Division of Correction who, because of the economy, consolidation or abolition of function, curtailment of activities or otherwise, positions in the competitive class are abolished or reduced in rank or salary grade, the reduction shall be predicted upon original appointment on a permanent basis in the grade or title in the service of the Nassau County Sheriff's Department- Division of Corrections.
Summary of provisions
Section one, amends Section 80 of the Civil Service Law by adding a new subdivision 1-e which would require, during layoffs and reductions, that the reduction of positions be based upon time in grade or title rather than total time on the job. JUSTIFICATION:
With the threat of layoffs and reductions within the Nassau County Sheriff's Department- Division of Corrections, the organization representing the sworn members of the corrections force request that the reduction position be based upon time in grade or title rather than total time on the job. Since the legislature has previously enacted similar legislation for the City of Buffalo, the city of New York, the Monroe County Sheriff's Department, and the sworn members of the police force of the County of Nassau, they request this legislation on behalf of the Nassau County Sheriff's Department-Division of corrections.
