employee status of more than 230 Staff Analyst and Associate Staff Analyst positions that were the subject of desk audits conducted by the New York City Department of Personnel from December 1983 through mid-1984. 1 It is for the purpose of determining the public employee status of the remaining desk audited Staff Analyst and Associate Staff Analyst positions that we now render this interim decision.
The rulings herein are based on a record comprised of more than 1,500 pages of testimony, by 120 desk audited Staff Analysts and Associate Staff Analysts, taken over the course of sixteen hearing dates during the period March 4, 1986 through June 24, 1986. The record also consists of several exhibits submitted by the organization of Staff Analysts ("OSA"). In addition, the City of New York (“City") submitted briefs in support of its position on the public employee status of several Staff Analysts and Associate Staff Analysts who testified in this proceeding; 2 to which OSA thereafter replied.
1 For a complete history of the desk audit portion of this proceeding see Decision No. B-86 at pp. 2-12.
2 At a hearing on June 3, 1986, the City announced that it would no longer state its position on the record. Instead, the City indicated that it would submit letter briefs setting forth its position on each employee who testified.

By letter dated August 8, 1986, the Hearing Officer assigned to the case informed the parties that the record in the March 4 through June 24, 1986 portion of the representation proceeding would be closed on August 25, 1986. There-after, upon learning that some important information was excluded from the record, the Hearing officer wrote to the City on August 21 and August 27, 1986. The City forwarded the requested information to the Hearing Officer on September 4 and September 10, 1986; whereupon the record was closed.
DETERMINATION In rendering determinations as to the managerial or confidential status of employees, we are guided by Section 201.7(a) of the Taylor Law, which provides in relevant part:
Employees may be designated as managerial only if they are persons (i) who formulate policy or (ii) who may reasonably be required on behalf of the public employer to assist directly in the preparation for and conduct of collective negotiations or to have a major role in the administration of agreements or in personnel administration provided that such role is not of a routine or clerical nature and requires the exercise of independent judgment. Employees may be designated as confidential only if they are persons who assist and act in a confidential capacity to managerial employees described in clause (ii).

In implementing this Section of the Taylor Law in prior deci-sions, we have considered inter alia the following criteria:
(1) the duties set forth in the job specifications; 3 (2) inclusion of title in the Managerial Pay Plan; 4 (3) involvement in personnel admini-stration, 5 labor relations, 6 or budget-related 7 functions; (4) salary level. 8 In addition, with respect to confidential status, we have relied upon an employee's access on a regular basis to confidential information concerning labor relations and personnel matters. 9 In accordance with these criteria, we make the following findings with respect to the public employee status of the employees listed below.
3 See Decision Nos. 43-69; 45-78. 4 See Decision Nos. 19-75; 45-76. 5 See Decision Nos. 73-71; 63-72. 6 See Decision Nos. 43-69; 19A-70. 7 See Decision Nos. 73-71; 8-72. 8 See Decision Nos. 79-68; 73-71. 9 See Decision Nos. 70-68; 11-76

During the course of the hearings in this case, OSA conceded on the basis of desk audits or testimony that, based upon the Taylor Law definition and the criteria we considered in prior decisions, the Board would find that a number of the subject employees are managerial or confidential. To the extent that the other Union parties to this proceeding were present when such concessions were made, they joined in the concessions or did not "object". We find that the record supports their designation as such.
The Unions conceded that based upon their desk audits and/or testimony, the Board would find the following Staff and Associate Staff Analysts to be managerial or confidential 10 : Human Resources Administration (HRA) 1.
