Most civilian employees have similar leave benefits laid out in citywide collective bargaining agreements, but the city is always discussing leave issues, including paid family leave which many unions have opted into the state program, with labor unions.

And have you all also considered the inequities with paid sick leave, parental leave, and other forms of leave that might be important in these congress patient.
0:40:56
I'm
Katrina Porter
0:40:56
not sure.
0:40:57
I would have to, Dan.
Dan Pollak
0:41:00
Yeah.
0:41:00
In terms of leave benefits, those benefits are obviously negotiated.
0:41:05
Most civilian employees have similar leave benefits.
0:41:10
As laid out in the citywide collective bargaining agreement.
0:41:13
But, you know, we're we're always, you know, distressing with our unions.
0:41:17
They shoes of leave, including paid family leave, which many of our unions have opted into the state program.

Thank you.
0:41:32
If m o e r j could answer the same question,
Sideya Sherman
0:41:35
regarding what data we need?
Farah N. Louis
0:41:38
Paid leave, any type of leave.
Sideya Sherman
0:41:41
Sure.
0:41:41
So, I mean, that's a probably a better question for our colleagues at OLR.
0:41:47
But just to speak to the point that DC Porter raised earlier, our office and our role in this, right, is really draw partnership with Decast and the pay equity cabinet.
0:41:57
The work that we're pursuing is a a job evaluation study, which would also meet compliance with local o 27 that offers an opportunity for the city to look a comparable worth.
0:42:08
Across titles where we see concentration of women and people of color.
0:42:11
It also offers an opportunity for us to understand compensation within the same titles.
0:42:15
To the slide that chairwoman Dela Rosa served chair earlier, right, that would help us dig in further and really understand what's causing the disparity there.
0:42:25
This is the first time the city has pursued this.
0:42:27
This would be one of the largest studies in any municipal city.
0:42:31
And so we look forward to sharing our report with the council members as DC Porter shared.
0:42:36
We have a solicitation out.
0:42:38
We hope to have that closed by the end of the month.
0:42:42
Will bring vendors on, and the first report would help us analyze at least 50 to 60 titles in this way.
