Occupational Pay Differentials

Section 130.13 of the Civil Service Law provides that the Director of the Division of Classification and Compensation may authorize additional compensation, called an Occupational Pay Differential, for employees serving in positions designated as Managerial/Confidential to maintain appropriate salary relationships over subordinates who occupy positions within the same occupational series. All such determinations are subject to the approval of the Director of the Division of the Budget.

The purpose of an Occupational Pay Differential is to maintain appropriate salary relationships between Managerial/Confidential supervisors and their represented subordinates.

The Division of Classification and Compensation issues a listing of all titles and locations for which Occupational Pay Differentials have been approved by the Division of the Budget.
