BILL NUMBER:S7394
Title of bill
An act in relation to requiring state agencies to issue a report to the civil service department and the legislature regarding an analysis of the feasibility of alternative work schedules within such departments
Purpose
This bill would require state agencies to provide a report to the civil service department and the legislature about different methods by which flexible work schedules can be enhanced in state government.
Summary of provisions
Section I establishes the procedure by which state agencies will submit reports detailing the feasibility of programs that permit flexible work- ing arrangements within such agencies.
Section II sets forth the effective date.
Justification
Vermont recently passed legislation that gives employees the right to request flexible working arrangements. Under New York State law flexible working arrangements are not required. As the demand for flexibility in the workforce grows, it is important to have the information needed to analyze the possibility of implementing flexible working arrangements in the workforce.
This bill would call for various state agencies to report back to the civil service department and the legislature on flexible working arrangements. These reports would provide information regarding the available options for workplace flexibility and ways they can be improved. Passage of this legislation would allow New York to take the first step in finding a solution for employees who often find themselves in situations when traditional work schedules prevent an equitable work- life balance.
