Commissioner Jessica Tisch explains that the $10 million PSA adjustment for FY24 supports various areas of the personnel services (PS) budget based on projected year-end spending.
- It primarily covers reductions in uniform base salaries ($12.2 million), holiday pay ($2.9 million), assignment differentials ($1.5 million), and longevity payments ($500,000).
- These reductions offset higher projected spending in uniform overtime ($12.1 million), civilian overtime ($11.5 million), civilian base salaries ($1.2 million), night shift differentials ($1.2 million), back pay ($900,000), and terminal leave ($300,000).
- The adjustments aim to right-size the budget according to anticipated expenditures in each category.

The executive plan includes new needs for a PSA adjustment of $10,000,000 in FY24 only.
0:32:37
Could you tell us what that funding supports?
Jessica Tisch
0:32:40
Yeah.

The funding supports various areas of the PS budget based on projected year end spending.

Primarily, it was a reduction in uniform based sale of $12,200,000 and a reduction of $2,900,000 in holiday pay, a reduction of $1,500,000 in assignment differentials and a reduction of 500,000 in longevity payments.

These reductions helped to offset other areas of the PS budget that were projected to have high spending.

So for example, that includes 12,100,000 in uniform overtime pay

Over time.

Which still keeps us within the overtime budget target.
0:33:17
11,500,000 for civilian overtime, which also still keeps us within the overtime budget target.
0:33:23
1,200,000 is civilian based salaries, another $1,200,000 for night shift in differential payments, $900,000 for back pay, and $300,000 for terminal leave.
0:33:35
These changes help right size our budget based on the projected year end spending in these categories.
