Limits the number of hours certain public employees can work

This bill limits most public employees in New York municipalities to a maximum of 17 work hours in any single workday, applying to all municipal employees except elected officials and those excluded by law. It amends existing overtime pay rules to clarify that overtime compensation does not count toward retirement benefits, salary increases, or promotions. The restriction on daily hours applies unless overridden by an existing collective bargaining agreement. This policy change directly affects public workers in local governments across New York State.
