S 1739 New York Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Provides for longevity payments for certain state employees

This bill establishes annual longevity payments for state employees in managerial or confidential roles within the executive branch who meet specific service and performance criteria. Employees with 12+ years of service receive a $1,500 payment, those with 17+ years receive an additional $1,500 (plus the 12-year payment), and those with 22+ years receive another $1,500 (plus both prior payments). Payments are based on March 31 service dates, require a performance rating above "Below Minimum," and are paid as lump sums in April each year. The law directly affects eligible managerial/confidential state employees in the executive branch, not all public workers.
