Compensation Commission to Meet After Election Day

October 30th, 2018

The 2018 New York State Compensation Commission – which is charged with “examin[ing], evaluat[ing] and mak[ing] recommendations with respect to adequate levels of compensation, non-salary benefits, and allowances” for state legislators, statewide elected officials and appointed state officials – has scheduled its first meeting for November 16 in Manhattan.

Under a law passed as part of the 2018-19 state budget, the Compensation Commission will determine these elected and appointed officials should get a salary increase. Their last salary increase for these officials went into effect in January 1998.
