Code enforcement staff would receive training pay if funded

Code enforcement staff would receive training pay at a rate set by the secretary of state. The provision covers all code enforcement staff taking training required under Executive Law section 376-a. Payment would depend on the money lawmakers set aside for this purpose. The rate could not fall below a worker’s regular pay or any pay rate specified in a union contract covering that worker. The pay provision would take effect 90 days after the bill becomes law. Starting when it becomes law, needed rules could be adopted on or before that effective date.
