Welcome to the NEW NAGE Websites!
​
NAGE is proud to announce that we have officially launched our new and updated versions of our NAGE website and affillate pages (like this one that you are viewing right now!).
As we continue to roll out these new updates and switch to this new platform, we appreciate your patience and understanding as we put the finishing touches on everything. There may be times when full accessibility to all of the pages and resources you are looking for are not currently available; please know that this will be temporary and we are working hard to make the website the best it can be for all of our members.
Free to reach out to lmatthews@nage.org to report any website errors or request any information you may need in the meantime.
We are so excited for this new era of the NAGE website and continuing to deliver NAGE members the tools that they need to be successful!

Supplemental Budget Update
The House and Senate reached agreement earlier today on a supplemental budget that included authorizations for NAGE’s new collective bargaining agreements. The bill has been enacted successfully and sent to the Governor for her signature. We will provide an update as soon as the Governor has taken action.
​
Thank you to all NAGE members for your strong commitment to making this new collective bargaining agreement a reality!

Leave Administration Update
We are writing to you regarding the recent HRD memo that you received addressing the upcoming changes to Leave Administration.
We are pleased to inform you that NAGE has reached agreement with the Healey Administration over the unfair labor practice charges addressing Workpartners, the time leave management vendor implemented by the previous Administration. As a result of the agreement, Workpartners will, over time, transition out and HRD will establish a centralized leave administration unit staffed with state employee who are experts in the field of leave management.
Leave administration affects every employee at some point during their career. Whether it is to care for yourself or a family member during a medical or other crisis, it is imperative to have guidance and assistance in navigating these matters. Having state employees that are leave specialists offer guidance and advice on leave benefits to state employees is best practice and is what NAGE members want.
We applaud the Healey administration for working with NAGE to reach agreement and for returning this important work to state employees.
