S 3349 New York Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Relates to safe staffing for public employees of institutional settings

This bill sets maximum overtime limits for public employees in New York's custodial facilities, including correctional centers, mental health facilities, and developmental disability centers. It prohibits mandatory overtime exceeding 17 hours in a 24-hour period (with 8 consecutive hours off afterward), 80 hours in 14 days, or 7 consecutive workdays without a full 24-hour break - except during emergencies or with 24 hours' notice. Facilities must also submit quarterly public reports detailing staffing levels, resignations, safety incidents, and recruitment efforts. The law aims to address unsafe staffing conditions by capping excessive workloads while preserving existing employee rights.
