BILL NUMBER:S7074
Title of bill
An act to amend the retirement and social security law, in relation to calculation of service credit for certain members
Purpose
This bill intends to provide additional pension benefits for certain members who had salary increases withheld for the fiscal year 2909-2010, and 2010-2011.
Summary of provisions
This bill would provide that a member designated as managerial or confidential woo had specific benefits withheld in fiscal years 2009-2010 and 2010-2011 would have their retirement benefits calculated upon retirement to provide an additional month of service credit, but not in access of 24 months, for each month of employment from April 1, 2009 for members either in the classified service of the state of New York in a position designated managerial or confidential pursuant to article fourteen of the civil service law or in the service of a public authority under the civil service jurisdiction of the stated department of civil service, who is in active service as of April 1, 2014 and retire on or before March 31, 2015.
Justification
Chapter 100 of 2008 provided several classes of civil service members with salary increases, performance advances, longevities and merit payments for the 2009-2010 and 2010-2011 fiscal years. Chapter 491 of the laws of 2011 provided additional increases for these civil service employees. While other civil service classes actually received all of these benefits, the director of Budget withheld or delayed such benefits from members designates managerial or confidential. This bill seeks to level, the playing field for managerial or confidential employees by granting them additional credit upon retirement.
