Management/Confidential (M/C 13)

All M/C positions at Stony Brook University are unclassified (13).

Management Confidential positions serve at the pleasure of the President, subject to the State University of New York Policies of the Board of Trustees and to the New York State Public Officer's Law.

M/C employees may be designated "managerial" if they (1) formulate policy, (2) assist the employer directly in preparing for or conducting collective negotiations, or (3) play a major role (involving independent judgment) in administering labor agreements. Employees may be designated "confidential" if they assist and act in a confidential capacity to employees designated managerial by virtue of (2) & (3) above. 

Employees designated management or confidential by the Public Employment Relations Board are not members of a negotiating unit. The Taylor Law does not permit them to organize or to bargain collectively on terms and conditions of employment because of the nature of their work. M/C employees formulate policy, assist directly in preparing for or conducting negotiations, administer labor agreements, or assist in a confidential capacity those employees who have employee relations responsibilities. M/C employees cover a broad range of occupations including managers, middle managers, and specialists in fields as diverse as education, law, computer science, medicine, administrative support, and law enforcement.
