BILL NUMBER:S4229
Title of bill
An act to amend the civil service law, in relation to reduction of positions in the New York city departments of sanitation and correction based upon seniority with an employer
Purpose
Amends the civil service law so that sworn members of the Sanitation and corrections force who, because of 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 predicated upon original appointment on a permanent basis in the grade or title in the service of the NYC Department of Sanitation or Corrections.
Summary of specific provisions
Amends § 80 of the civil service law by adding a new subdivision 1-e.
Justification
With the threat of layoffs and reductions within the County of New York Sanitation and Correction Departments, the organization representing the sworn members of such forces 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 (other departments), County of Nassau and the Monroe County Sheriff's Department, they request this legislation on behalf of the NYC Sanitation and Correction force.
