The CSEA Local 830 has received an interim award July 9 from the arbitrator who retains jurisdiction over the “No Layoff/No Furlough Agreement.” The award stated that all employees taking part in the Early Separation Incentive will be paid their incentive and termination payments, as per the original agreement. That means incentive monies will be paid within 60 days of separation, and termination pay within 90 days. Although the Senate had not resolved their issues, the county had decided to let employees leave on their scheduled separation date. CSEA then requested an interim award, stating that all employees would receive the benefit as laid out by the original agreement, which the arbitrator granted. Members left county service between July 10 and July 30.
After this incentive deal was signed on March 30, there were 3 steps that needed to be attained in order for it to be completed. First, CSEA members needed to ratify the agreement, which they did with a 90% rate. Second, more than 325 people needed to take the Early Separation Incentive, which was fulfilled with a total of 364. Lastly, the Nassau and State Legislatures needed to approve bonding for the payouts for those taking the Incentive. CSEA Local 830 President Jerry Laricchiuta and the political action team in Albany first lobbied State Assembly members to get the bill through the Ways and Means committee, which was done successfully. Then came the Senate standoff. Laricchiuta and PAC stayed in close contact with Senator Dean Skelos’ office to help get our bonding bill passed Eventually, the Long Island delegation was able to pull through in helping make our bill a priority, and getting it passed.
All remaining members now have the lag payroll which is currently in effect. Remember, the amount of your bi-weekly paycheck will not be affected. You will receive your lag paycheck upon separation from Nassau County, at the rate of pay you are making at that time.
Below is the lag payroll schedule:

ATTENTION MEMBERS WITH PEARL CARROLL INSURANCE
Due to the lag payroll, employees with CSEA insurance coverage(s) with Pearl Carroll will continue to have the same deduction taken out of their paycheck each pay period. However, by the end of the lag payroll period, you will effectively be missing one paycheck, and thus one payroll deduction. To avoid a break in your CSEA insurance coverage you will be mailed a bill for that one missing pay period. Once you receive this bill, please make this payment directly to Pearl Carroll and Associates as soon as possible.
If you have any questions please feel free to contact Pearl Carroll and Associates at 1-800-697-CSEA (2732) or email us at www.PearlCarroll.com.
