excerpt from Bloomberg:
New Jersey spent about $3 million this fiscal year on clothing allowances
for state workers who aren’t required to wear uniforms, a report found.
Forty-eight percent of white-collar employees receiving the annual payment
of as much as $700 don’t wear specialized work clothing, state Comptroller
Matthew Boxer said in a statement accompanying the report. The practice is
“absurd,” he said.
“We recommend that at a minimum the state seek to eliminate the clothing-
allowance benefits for those employees who are not required to wear uniforms
or other special clothing,” Boxer said in the report. Assemblyman Paul
Moriarty, a Turnersville Democrat, released a statement saying he would
introduce such legislation as soon as possible.
New Jersey’s clothing-allowance policies are “far more generous” than
seven other states Boxer reviewed. Of those, only California provides an
allowance greater than $175, he said.
California reimburses employees as much as $450 a year if they provide
receipts, Boxer said. Pennsylvania pays as much as $175, while New York
gives a $58 allowance to workers in a limited number of jobs, he said.
New Jersey pays white-collar state employees, those in jobs including
administrative and office work, more than $4.8 million a year in clothing
allowances. It provides a flat $700 annual payment in paychecks, rather than
having employees present a receipt to get the allowance, Boxer said. The
report cited an unidentified human-resources manager at the state
transportation department as saying that the allowance is seen as a bonus.
Collective Bargaining
The clothing-allowance benefit is included in collective- bargaining
agreements that expire June 30. More than 27,000 state employees are
entitled to it, and it cost New Jersey about $22 million this fiscal year.
About $8 million went to uniformed public safety and corrections workers.
Governor Chris Christie’s administration began negotiations last month with
the largest state-worker union, the Communications Workers of America. It
represents about 40,000 state workers.
Christie, a first-term Republican, has slashed spending after pledging not
to raise taxes on residents who pay the highest real-estate levies in the
nation. He faces a budget gap of as much as $10.5 billion in the fiscal year
starting July 1, more than a third of his current $29.4 billion spending
plan, the Office of Legislative Services projected in July.
Hetty Rosenstein, state director of the CWA, said the clothing allowances
are designed to assist low-income workers such as employees in nursing homes
and developmental centers. She said efforts to end them are “anti-union
and Scott Walkerish,” referring to the Republican governor of Wisconsin
whose curbs on collective bargaining prompted weeks of protests and a court
challenge.
‘Compensation Plan’
“This has become a part of the compensation plan over a long period of time
,” she said in a telephone interview. “It’s for people who may be
changing diapers and cleaning up messes.”
