New York (State). Classification and Compensation Appeals Board.
Biographical notes:
The 1949 Legislature established (Chapter 355) a five member Classification and Compensation Board to hear appeals from the Classification and Compensation Division (C.C.D.) Director's determinations of position reclassification and salary reallocations requests. The Board replaced and absorbed some of the functions of the former Salary Standardization and Classification boards.
The Board was established in the Department of Civil Service (D.C.S.) but was functionally independent of the Department and the Civil Service Commission. The Governor appointed the Board as follows: a representative from the Division of the Budget, a representative from the Civil Service Commission, and two employees from the classified civil service. The Board elected its chairperson and appointed an executive secretary. Its determinations were final but became effective only after approval by the Budget Director.
The 1954 Legislature established (Chapter 307) a new thirty-eight grade salary structure for the classified service. The C.C.D. Director was responsible for reallocating salaries and reclassifying positions to make them consistent with the new grade structure. The Board suspended all regular appeals (known as "Chapter 38 appeals" after the applicable section of the Civil Service Law) on October 1, 1954. For a year and a half it considered only appeals based on the new grade schedule (known as "Chapter 307 appeals"). The Board also allowed appointing officers to file blanket appeals for all reallocations and reclassifications in jurisdiction. In April 1956 the C.C.D. Director announced that the conversion to the new salary plan was complete and all reclassifications or reallocations and appeals would be under section 38 of the Civil Service Law.
The Classification and Compensation Appeals Board continued to operate until 1960 when it was abolished by law (Chapter 323) and its powers transferred to the Civil Service Commission.
