BILL NUMBER:S7226A
Title of bill
An act to amend the civil service law, in relation to suspension or demotion upon the abolition or reduction of positions
Purpose
This bill will allow all therapists employed by the City School District of the City of New York prior to January 1, 2014 to retain their years of service for retention purposes.
Summary of provisions
A new subsection 1-f is added to section 80 of the civil service law to allow all occupational and physical therapists who are presently employed by the City School District of the City of new York and who were so employed by the City of New York and who were so employed prior to January 1, 2014 as provisional employees, for the purpose of priority of retention and for no other purpose, to have their date of original appointment be deemed the date such employment began prior to January 1, 2014.
JUSTIFICATION:The City School District of the City of New York had not, prior to December 31, 2013, given a civil service test for occupational and physical therapists for at least 30 years. All therapists working in the title of occupational therapist-BOE, physical therapist-BOE, senior occupational therapist-BOE, senior physical therapist-BOE or supervising therapist were professionals. A test was finally given in December, 2013. Under section 80 of the Civil Service Law, after January 1, 2014, if a layoff in any of these titles were necessary, all such employees would receive no credit for the years of service prior to 1/1/2014. This legislation would grant them credit for all of their years of service in these titles for retention purposes only. These employees should not lose the benefit of all their years of service because the school district neglected to give civil service examinations for thirty years.
