Overtime pay for state employees surged to record highs in 2021 as agencies relied on a shrinking workforce to meet the demands of the Covid-19 pandemic, according to a new report from Comptroller Tom DiNapoli.released Friday posits a tough reality for employees in New York state government, which DiNapoli says extends beyond the “great resignation” seen across the U.S.: As workers leave the state payroll, those left behind were saddled with more duties and longer hours.
“While the pandemic does not appear to have prompted a ‘great resignation’ from the state workforce in 2020, new hiring stalled, and the workforce declined more sharply in 2021 than in the prior decade,” DiNapoli said in a statement. “While the number of employees dropped more sharply in 2021 than in prior years, reduction of the State workforce has occurred over a much longer trajectory as employee counts have declined for over a decade,” the report reads.
