 AN  ACT directing the president of the civil service commission to study
   and publish a report evaluating wage disparities among public  employ-
   ers
 
   THE  PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM-
 BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:
 
   Section 1. Policy of the state. It is the  policy  of  this  state  to
 pursue the establishment of equitable compensation relationships between
 female-dominated,  male-dominated, and other segregated titles to elimi-
 nate wage disparities in  public  employment  statewide.    Compensation
 relationships  are equitable when the primary consideration in negotiat-
 ing, establishing, recommending, and approving total wages is the equiv-
 alent value of the job title content in relationship to other job titles
 and position classifications in civil service.
   § 2. Definitions. For the purposes of this act,
   (a) the  term "public employer" shall have  the  same  meaning  as  in
 subdivision six of section 201 of the civil service law;
   (b)  the term "position classification" shall have the same meaning as
 in subdivision eleven of section two of the civil service law;
   (c) the term "equal jobs" shall mean jobs that are  equal  within  the
 meaning of the Equal Pay Act of 1963, 29 U.S.C. 206(d);
   (d) the term "equivalent jobs" shall mean jobs or occupations that are
 equal  within  the  meaning  of  the  Equal  Pay  Act of 1963, 29 U.S.C.
 206(d), or jobs or occupations that are dissimilar  but  whose  require-
 ments  are  equivalent when viewed as a composite of the skills, effort,
 responsibilities and working conditions required by the work;
 
  EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
                       [ ] is old law to be omitted.
                                                            LBD07410-01-7
