2015-S757 - Sponsor Memo

                                BILL NUMBER:S757

TITLE OF BILL:

An act to amend the labor law, in relation to enacting the "save New
York call center jobs act of 2015"

PURPOSE OF BILL:

The purpose of this bill is to penalize companies that relocate call
center jobs overseas by restricting their access to state contracts
and loans.

SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:

The bill amends the labor law by adding Article 21. Under Section 771,
a call center employer that intends to relocate a call center, or one
or more facilities or operating units within a call center
compromising at least thirty percent of the call centers, or operating
unit's total volume when measured against the previous twelve month
average call volume of operations or substantially similar operations,
from New York State to a foreign country shall notify the commissioner
at least one hundred days before such relocation.

A call center employer that violates subdivision one of this section
shall be subject to a civil penalty not to exceed ten thousand dollars

for each day of such violation, except that the commissioner may
reduce such amount for just cause shown.

JUSTIFICATION:

Over the past four years, the United States has lost at least 500,000
call center jobs as businesses have opted to relocate offshore. In
addition to limiting employment opportunities for struggling families,
the use of foreign call centers present a number of security concerns
with respect to protecting New Yorkers personal confidential
information.

In an effort to combat unemployment in New York State, this bill holds
companies that out--ounce jobs accountable. This legislation directs
the commissioner to compile a semi-annual list of all call center
employers in NYS that relocate jobs overseas and publicly discloses
this information to all state agencies. Additionally, call center
employers that appear on the list will be ineligible for state grants,
guaranteed loans and tax benefits. This measure gives companies
throughout the state an incentive to support New York's workforce, as
opposed to negligently shipping jobs abroad. In light of the current
economic climate, it is fiscally irresponsible to continue to reward
with taxpayer dollars and state subsidies, businesses that relocate
jobs.

PRIOR LEGISLATIVE HISTORY:

2012: S.6918 Referred to Labor/A.9809 Passed Assembly

2013-14: S.542A Referred to Labor


EFFECTIVE DATE:

This act shall take effect on the one hundred eightieth day after it
shall have become a law.
