A. 4542 5

4. Effective April 5, 2018 for officers and employees on the administrative payroll and effective March 29, 2018 for officers and employees on the institutional payroll, the basic annual salary of officers and employees in full-time employment status on the day before such payroll period shall be increased by two percent adjusted to the nearest whole dollar amount.

5. Notwithstanding the provisions of subdivisions two, three and four of this section, if the basic annual salary of an officer or employee to whom the provisions of this section apply is identical with the hiring rate or the job rate of the salary grade of his or her position on the effective dates of the increases provided in these subdivisions, such basic annual salary shall be increased to the hiring rate or job rate, respectively, of such salary grade as contained in the appropriate salary schedules in subparagraphs 1, 2 and 3 of paragraph c of subdivision 1 of section 130 of the civil service law, as added by section one of this act, to take effect on the dates provided in such subparagraphs. Except as herein provided to the contrary, the increases in basic annual salary provided by this subdivision shall be in lieu of any increase in basic annual salary provided for in subdivisions two, three and four of this section.

6. Payments pursuant to the provisions of subdivision 6 of section 131 of the civil service law for annual salaried officers and employees entitled to such payments to whom the provisions of this section apply shall be payable in accordance with the terms of an agreement reached pursuant to article 14 of the civil service law between the state and an employee organization representing employees subject to the provisions of this section.

7. If an unencumbered position is one which if encumbered, would be subject to the provisions of this section, the salary of such position shall be increased by the salary increase amounts specified in this section. If a position is created, and filled by the appointment of an officer or employee who is subject to the provisions of this section, the salary otherwise provided for such position shall be increased in the same manner as though such position had been in existence but unencumbered. Notwithstanding the provisions of this section, the director of the budget may reduce the salary of any such position which is or becomes vacant.

8. The increases in salary provided in subdivisions two, three and four of this section shall apply on a prorated basis to officers and employees, otherwise eligible to receive an increase in salary, who are paid on an hourly or per diem basis, employees serving on a part-time or seasonal basis, and employees paid on any basis other than at an annual salary rate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of subdivisions five, six and thirteen of this section shall not apply to employees serving on a per diem or seasonal basis, except as determined by the director of the budget.

9. In order to provide for the officers and employees to whom this section applies but are not allocated to salary grades, but are paid on an annual basis, increases and payments pursuant to subdivisions six and thirteen of this section in proportion to those provided to persons to

A. 4542 6

whom this section applies who are allocated to salary grades, the director of the budget is authorized to add appropriate adjustments and/or payments to the compensation which such officers and employees are otherwise entitled to receive. The director of the budget shall issue certificates which shall contain schedules of positions and the salaries and/or payments thereof for which adjustments and/or payments are made pursuant to the provisions of this subdivision, and a copy of each such certificate shall be filed with the state comptroller, the department of civil service, the chair of the senate finance committee and the chair of the assembly ways and means committee.

10. Notwithstanding any other provision of this section, the provisions of this section shall not apply to officers or employees paid on a fee schedule basis, provided however, that the increases in basic annual salary provided for in subdivisions two, three and four of this section shall apply to fire instructors paid on a fee schedule basis employed by the division of homeland security and emergency services.

11. Notwithstanding any other provision of this section, except subdivision one, any increase in compensation for any officer or employee appointed to a lower graded position from a redeployment list pursuant to subdivision 1 of section 79 of the civil service law who continues to receive his or her former salary pursuant to such subdivision shall be determined on the basis of such lower graded position provided, however, that the increase in salary provided in this section shall not cause such officer's or employee's salary to exceed the job rate of such lower graded position.

12. Notwithstanding any other provision of this section or any law to the contrary, any increase in compensation may be withheld in whole or in part from any employee to whom the provisions of this section are applicable when, in the opinion of the director of the budget and the director of employee relations, such increase is not warranted or is not appropriate for any reason.

13. Notwithstanding any law, rule or regulation to the contrary, officers and employees to whom the provisions of this section apply shall receive performance awards in accordance with the terms of a collectively negotiated agreement between the state and the employee organization representing such employees entered into pursuant to article 14 of the civil service law, effective for the period commencing April 2, 2016 and ending April 1, 2019, in accordance with the rules and regulations issued by the director of the budget to implement payment of such negotiated performance awards.
