| NYS Retirement and Public Libraries: FAQs and Myths We got a series of questions from a public library system about New York State Retirement. Buckle up, this is a LOT. |

| Library and Other Cultural Workers Cashing Out Accrued Paid Time Off Our Library has a CSEA Collective Bargaining Agreement with Employees, and individual employment contracts with administrators. All documents codify how many accrued vacation days and sick days an individual employee can “sell back” or be reimbursed for upon separation from service (resignation or retirement). The documents do not address remaining accrued time that employees have earned during their years of service. In NYS labor law are there any regulations stipulating how the employer must handle the balance of accrued time? Does it have a monetary value? May the employee submit for the balance of vacation time off before their separation from service? Are there any circumstances where the employee would have to forfeit their earned/accrued vacation time? |

| Retirement Benefits for Employees Are municipal public libraries obligated to provide retirement benefits for all employees? Does the library board need to approve a motion to provide retirement benefits for all employees or selected employees? Does the number of hours pertain? Or does the employee qualify for state retirement system benefits through the municipality? Again - is it based upon hours worked? |
