Budget Highlights

In FY 2017, Pay Bill appropriations totaling $248.5 million were enacted to pay for general salary increases and associated fringe benefit increases resulting from two collectively negotiated agreements between the State and the unions representing members of the Public Employees Federation (PEF) and the New York State Police Investigators Association (NYSPIA).

The State’s one-year agreement with PEF reached in April 2016, which is separate and distinct from the State’s three-year agreement with PEF, provided a retroactive 2 percent general salary increase for the period April 1, 2015 through March 31, 2016. This agreement created parity for PEF with most other State union contracts which have salary increases that concluded in FY 2016 (e.g., Civil Service Employees Association). Pay Bill appropriations totaling $219.8 million were enacted in FY 2017 to implement this one-year deal.

The State also reached a seven year agreement with NYSPIA, which was consistent with the recent seven year contract with the Police Benevolent Association of New York State Troopers. NYSPIA’s agreement includes a wage increase schedule that provided no increase from FY 2012 through FY 2014, 2 percent in both FY 2015 and 2016, and 1.5 percent in both FY 2017 and 2018. Pay Bill appropriations totaling $28.7 million were enacted in FY 2017 to implement this seven-year deal.

Both agreements provided corresponding increases to Labor Management Committees which fund health benefit and professional development programs, and NYSPIA’s deal included a corresponding increase to its members’ Employee Benefit Fund.

The enacted Pay Bill appropriations were transferred, in total, to employing agencies as well as to the General State Charges budget to accommodate increased fringe benefit costs (e.g., pensions, social security). Since ongoing funding is reflected in agency budgets, these FY 2017 appropriations are eliminated in FY 2018.
