Our union has had a great impact on New Yorkers’ lives since a group of state employees formed the Association of State Civil Service Employees on Oct. 24, 1910. More than 100 years later, the Civil Service Employees Association (as the association was renamed in 1946), is one of the largest, most influential unions in the United States.
This morning, I had the privilege of signing the CBA alongside Don Havens, our CSEA LRS, and County Executive Adam Bello. The document has since been sent electronically to CSEA for printing, which should expedite the process. Thank you for your continued patience!
If you are a Part-timer and are on a fixed schedule, the programmers are finishing up the holiday pay. It should be done by next pay period according to the County. Any holidays that were missed thus far will be paid in the same check. Thank you for your patience!
The programmers have finished with everyone giving them the 24 hours in their CSEA Personal Time Bank. Please let me know if you did not receive it. This would be for those hired in 2024. Anyone in 2025 will receive it in January of 2026.
This week, the State Senate passed A.4003/S.4929, which means the bill has now passed both houses of the legislature! This bill aligns infant supervision standards for home-based childcare providers, many of whom are represented by CSEA, with what is already done for childcare centers. This will reduce the burden of excessive staffing requirements on home-based providers and will improve access to infant care across the state. Now, the bill heads to Governor Hochul, who has until the end of the year to sign or veto the legislation.
Primary day for local elections is quickly approaching and will take place on June 24! Remember, the absolute last day to register to vote is June 14. Make sure you register to vote, double-check your voter registration status, and take a look at CSEA's endorsed candidates, here. Local elections are critically important because they determine who will make vital decisions about public services, schools, infrastructure development, and who will be sitting across from us at the bargaining table. CSEA members possess the ability to have an outsized and meaningful impact in these elections, so make your voice heard and don't forget to vote!
The County is waiting for the Phoenix team to finish programming this change. If you are a Part-timer and have a designated schedule - (Example: I work Part -time in the Parks Department and I work M-F 4 hours each day,) then I would qualify for getting holidays paid as long as the holiday is on my normal workday. I am being told it will be retroactive back to January 2025. Thanks for your patience!
Civil Services has continued to extend their waving of Civil Service exam fees til June 2026. Local governments do not have to opt in to this program.
