Excluded employees: meet and confer rights.

Existing law, the Bill of Rights for State Excluded Employees, requires the state to meet and confer, upon request, with verified supervisory organizations representing supervisory employees on matters within the scope of representation, and requires a state employer to provide notice to, and meet and confer with, a verified supervisory employee organization prior to arriving at a determination of policy or course of action directly impacting supervisory employees. Existing law defines a "supervisory employee organization" and "managerial employees" for these purposes. This bill would extend the rights described above to verified excluded employee organizations representing managerial or supervisory employees. The bill would require the state employer to meet and confer with these parties on matters relating to employee compensation, as provided. These provisions would not apply to managerial employees within the Department of Personnel Administration.
