TITLE OF BILL:  An act to amend the civil service law, in relation to
promotion eligibility

PURPOSE:

The bill would permit those who have been involuntarily transferred or
reassigned from one promotion unit to a different promotion unit the
right to have their name remain on the promotion unit eligible list
that they were on prior to being transferred or reassigned.

SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:

Amend Section 52.15 to permit promotion eligibility of persons who
have been involuntarily transferred or reassigned to another state
agency, department and/or promotion unit. This bill would make it
possible for an employee whose name appears on a promotion unit
eligible list and who is subsequently involuntarily transferred or
reassigned to a different promotion unit, the right to have their name
remain active on the former promotion unit's eligible list for the
duration of the life of the eligible list.

JUSTIFICATION:

There have been many changes to New York State Government over the

last few years. This has included the consolidation of state functions
as well as the establishment of a new agency (The Justice Center).
These changes have resulted in State employees being involuntarily
transferred or reassigned to different promotion units than they were
in.

Currently, when an employee is transferred or reassigned to another
promotion unit their name is removed from the promotion unit eligible
list they were on and placed on the promotion unit eligible list for
the new promotion unit. Many times the title(s) that employees are on
the promotion unit eligible list for do not exist at the agency,
department or promotion unit in which they were involuntarily
transferred or reassigned to. In other cases these employees had more
opportunity to be promoted in their former agency, department or
promotion unit. It is not fair that employees lose these promotional
opportunities when it was not their choice to be transferred or
reassigned.

This amendment would allow for employees who are involuntarily
transferred or reassigned the right to remain on the promotion unit
eligible list they were on prior to such change. This will assure that
employees in these situations are afforded the same promotional
opportunities that they would have had if they had not been
involuntarily transferred or reassigned.

LEGISLATIVE HISTORY:

New Bill.

FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:


None.

EFFECTIVE DATE:

This act shall take effect immediately
