Workers' Compensation Board
The enacted budget (May 16, 2002) makes no changes to the Executive Budget.
The Executive Budget recommends (analysis as of February 5, 2001):
· An FTE level of 1,675 which represents a decrease of 13 positions from the projected fiscal year 2001-02 FTE workforce. All these positions will be eliminated during the current fiscal year and are due to the current strict hiring freeze.
· A $4,845,000 or 20.4% increase in the non-personal services appropriation for the Workers Compensation Program. The Executive Budget provides no explanation for this increase. According to the Assembly Ways and Means Committee, $1,275,000 of this increased funding is for two new projects:
- financial audits of self-insured employers that have some degree of financial risk and/or compliance issues; and
- the development of disaster recovery and information technology security plans in conformance with Office for Technology requirements.
It is unclear what the remaining increased funding will be used for but it may be related to increased rent payments for the Board’s New York City offices.
