NY S04229

Amends Civil Service Law Section 80 to establish a new subdivision 1-e applying specifically to uniformed personnel in New York City's Department of Sanitation and Department of Correction.

Requires position reductions due to economy, consolidation, or curtailment of activities to follow inverse order of original appointment (reverse seniority), meaning employees with less seniority are suspended or demoted first.

Mandates that probationary employees be suspended or demoted before permanent employees, with the order among probationary employees determined by the same inverse appointment date method.

Takes effect immediately upon enactment.
