MEMORANDUM IN SUPPORT OF LEGISLATION
submitted in accordance with Assembly Rule III, Sec 1(f)
TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the civil service law, in relation to requiring exit surveys for resigning employees PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL: To establish a system of providing exit interviews for civil service employees. SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS: Section one: Provides a short title for the bill. Section two: Provides for methods and requirements for administer- ing.exit interviews for covered employees Section three: Exempts employee responses from the Freedom of Informa- tion Law Section four: Establishes the effective date. JUSTIFICATION: This bill would require that many state employees participate in exit interviews upon leaving their posts. Collecting this sort of qualitative data from employees leaving their employment in civil service can provide valuable insight into conditions and experiences for employees. This data can also help to locate a possible area in need of improvement within an agency and help to find effective solutions. Similar legislation that requires exit employees for public employees has been enacted by the New York City Council and is standard practice in private industry. PRIOR LEGISLATIVE HISTORY: New bill. FISCAL IMPLICATIONS FOR STATE AND LOCAL GOVERNMENTS: To be determined. EFFECTIVE DATE: This act shall take effect immediately.
