Background
Chapter 567 of the Laws of 2010 created the Special Commission on Judicial Compensation to examine, evaluate and make recommendations with respect to adequate levels of compensation and non-salary benefits for Judges and Justices of the state paid courts of the Unified Court System. The Commission has recommended that all NYS Judges receive phased-in salary increases over three fiscal years. This year’s recommended increases will become law unless modified or abrogated by statute prior to 04/01/13.
Eligibility Criteria
Judges and Justices of the UCS in BU86 whose Pay Basis Code is LEG with a Payroll Status of Active or Leave With Pay on or after 03/28/13 are eligible for this salary increase.
OSC will process the April 2013 salary increase for Judges and Justices who meet the eligibility criteria as follows:
- If the Payroll Status is Active or Leave With Pay on 03/28/13, OSC will insert a row in the Job Data record with an Effective Date of 03/28/13 and the Action/Reason code of Pay Rate Change/SAC (Mass Salary Increase).
- If the employee does not meet the eligibility criteria on 03/28/13 but becomes eligible after 03/28/13, OSC will insert a row in the Job Data record with an Effective Date equal to the date of Hire, Rehire, Position Change, Transfer or Return from Leave action and the Action/Reason code Pay Rate Change/CSL (Correct Salary).
- If the employee has subsequent rows in an eligible position, OSC will insert a row in the Job Data record using the Action/Reason code Pay Rate Change/CSL (Correct Salary).
The compensation rate on each inserted row will be updated as follows:
