N.Y. Comp. Codes R. & Regs. tit. 9 § 151.1
On December 7, 1979, the State of New York and the Public Employees Federation, AFL-CIO, signed a collective bargaining agreement for the period April 1, 1979 through March 31, 1982, covering employees in the Professional, Scientific and Technical Services Negotiating Unit, which provides, in part, that the parties develop a work performance evaluation system to improve job performance and recognize employee achievement. Because the State and the union did not have an opportunity to fully develop a performance evaluation system, interim rules and regulations were established to cover the period April 1, 1979 through September 30, 1980. However, final agreement for such system has been reached for the remainder of the 1979-82 contract period and these rules, which implement and govern this performance evaluation system, replace former Part 151 which governed the interim period.
