Citywide Contract
Definition
The Citywide Contract, which is still in effect in 2018, addresses general working conditions and other non-wage matters. Issues such as time and leave, eligibility for health insurance coverage, personnel and pay practices and overtime are negotiated under the Citywide Contract. The Citywide Contract is called non-economic because it doesn’t establish wages, but it does have an impact on members’ pocketbooks. For instance, it sets holidays, annual leave, overtime rules, meal and car allowances, and shift differentials.
What agencies are covered under the Citywide Contract?
- Mayoral agencies
- HHC
- Borough President offices
