Extension of Supplemental Military Leave benefits proposed by Civil Service Commission

Extension of Supplemental Military Leave benefits proposed by Civil Service Commission*
I.D. No. CVS-05-10-00005-P - This is a consensus rule making to amend §§21.15 and 28-1.17 of Title 4 NYCRR.

The Civil Service Commission has filed a proposed amendment to the Attendance Rules for State employees providing for the extention of the availability of supplemental military leave benefits for certain New York State employees through December 31, 2010.

The proposed rule amends §§21.15 and 28-1.17 of the Attendance Rules for Employees in New York State Departments and Institutions to continue the availability of the single grant of supplemental military leave with pay and further leave at reduced pay through December 31, 2010, and to provide for separate grants of the greater of 22 working days or 30 calendar days of training leave at reduced pay during calendar year 2010.

Union represented employees already receive these benefits pursuant to memoranda of understanding (MOUs) negotiated with the Governor's Office of Employee Relations (GOER).

The Commission said that the proposed rule merely amends §21.15 of the Attendance Rules consistent with the current MOUs, and amends §28-1.17 to extend equivalent benefits to employees serving in positions designated managerial or confidential (M/C).
