Title of bill
An act to amend the civil service law, in relation to the powers and duties of the president of the state civil service commission
Purpose
This bill would require the President of the Civil Service Commission to prepare an annual report detailing the feasibility of programs permitting alternative work schedules and flexible work hours within state agencies.
Summary of provisions
Section 1 establishes that the President of the Civil Service Commission shall prepare an annual report detailing the feasibility of programs permitting alternative work schedules and flexible work hours within state agencies. The report will also present an analysis of how programs for alternative work schedules and flexible hours for employees could be implemented in each agency.
Section 2 sets forth the effective date.
Justification
In 2013, Vermont 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 the President of the Civil Service Commission to prepare an annual report detailing the feasibility of programs permitting alternative work schedules and flexible work hours within state agencies. 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.
