  days notice to an employee prior to suspension or demotion

  THE  PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM-
BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  Section 1. Subdivision 1 of section 81-a of the civil service law,  as
amended  by  chapter  140  of  the  laws  of 1993, is amended to read as
follows:
  1. Establishment of reemployment rosters in the state service; general
provisions. The head of any department, office or institution from which
an employee in the state service  is  to  be  suspended  or  demoted  in
accordance  with  the  provisions  of section eighty or eighty-a of this
article, shall, at least [twenty] SIXTY days prior to such suspension or
demotion, furnish the AFFECTED EMPLOYEE, state civil service  department
AND EMPLOYEE ORGANIZATION with a statement showing such employee's name,
title  or  position, date of appointment, and the date of and reason for
suspension or demotion.  NOTICE GIVEN TO ANY EMPLOYEE PURSUANT  TO  THIS
SECTION  SHALL  BE  BY PERSONAL SERVICE OR BY CERTIFIED MAIL TO THE LAST
ADDRESS FILED BY THE EMPLOYEE WITH THE EMPLOYER.  Upon  such  employee's
suspension  or demotion, it shall be the duty of the department to place
the name of such employee upon a reemployment roster for filling  vacan-
cies  in any comparable position as determined by the department, except
that employees suspended or demoted from positions in  the  non-competi-
tive  and  labor  classes  may not be certified to fill vacancies in the
competitive class. Such reemployment roster shall be certified for fill-
ing a vacancy in any such position before certification is made from any
other list, including a promotion eligible list,  but  not  prior  to  a
preferred  list.  Eligibility  for  reinstatement of a person whose name
appears on any such reemployment roster shall not continue for a  period
longer than four years from the date of suspension or demotion provided,

 EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
                      [ ] is old law to be omitted.
