amount equal to $275.00 per employee for each quarter of the period
beginning April 1, 2016 and ending March 31, 2018; $285.00 per employee

for each quarter of the year beginning April 1, 2018 and ending March 31,

beginning April 1, 2020 and thereafter. Such amounts shall be deposited as

soon as practicable after the first day of each quarter.
§30.3 For the purpose of determining the amount to be deposited in

accordance with Section 30.2 above, the number of employees shall be
determined to be the number of employees on the payroll on the payroll date

closest to 21 days before the first day of the quarter for which the deposit is
to be made.

§30.4 For purposes of this Article, the term “employee” shall mean any
person holding a position in this negotiating unit who is eligible for

enrollment in the State Health Insurance Plan in accordance with the
provisions contained in part 73 of the Rules and Regulations of the

Department of Civil Service (4NYCRR Part 73), except that it shall not
mean seasonal employees whose employment is expected to last less than

six (6) months, employees in temporary positions of less than six (6) months
duration, or employees holding appointments otherwise expected to last less

than six months.

§30.5 There is a recognized need for the CSEA Employee Benefit Fund to
be provided, on a current basis, with data to determine when a new employee
is to be covered, recognize an employee’s change in payroll agency,

recognize a change in employee status which may change type of coverage,

and determine when an employee is no longer entitled to coverage.
Accordingly, the joint State-CSEA working group shall continue to develop
and monitor new inter-system approaches to producing needed data. The

group shall be comprised of representatives of the Governor’s Office of

Employee Relations, CSEA, Inc., Department of Civil Service, CSEA
Employee Benefit Fund and its data processing firm, and the State

Comptroller.
