    17  follows:
    18    2-a.  Where  and to the extent that an agreement between the state and
    19  an employee organization entered into pursuant to  article  fourteen  of
    20  the  civil  service law or an interest arbitration award issued pursuant
    21  to subdivision four of section two hundred nine of the civil service law
    22  so provides on behalf of employees in the  collective  negotiating  unit
    23  designated  as  the  security  supervisors  unit established pursuant to
    24  article fourteen of the civil service law, and upon audit and warrant of
    25  the comptroller, the director shall provide for the payment of moneys to
    26  such employee organization for the establishment and maintenance  of  an
    27  employee  benefit  fund established by the employee organization for the
    28  employees in the negotiating unit covered by the  controlling  provision
    29  of  such agreement providing for such employee benefit fund, such amount
    30  to be determined consistent with said agreement  on  the  basis  of  the
    31  number  of  full-time  annual  salaried  employees, as determined by the
    32  comptroller, on the payroll on the last day of  the  payroll  period  in
    33  which  March  first,  two  thousand  [sixteen]  twenty-three  falls  for
    34  payments to be made on April first, two thousand [sixteen]  twenty-three

    50  section,  for  employees  who  are  paid  from special or administrative

     7  and four of this section.
     8    8.  If  an  unencumbered position is one which if encumbered, would be
     9  subject to the provisions of this section, the salary of  such  position
    10  shall  be  increased  by  the  salary increase amounts specified in this
    11  section. If a position is created and is filled by  the  appointment  of

    15  bered. Notwithstanding the provisions of this section, the  director  of
    16  the  budget  may  reduce  the  salary  of any such position, which is or
    17  becomes vacant.
    18    9. The increases in salary payable  pursuant  to  this  section  shall
    19  apply  on a prorated basis to officers and employees, otherwise eligible
    20  to receive an increase in salary pursuant to this section, who are  paid
    21  on  an  hourly  or  per  diem basis, employees serving on a part-time or
    22  seasonal basis and employees paid on any basis other than at an  annual-
    23  salaried  rate; except that the provisions of subdivisions five, six and
    24  seven of this section shall not apply to employees serving on an hourly,
    25  per diem, or seasonal basis, except as determined by the director of the
    26  budget.
    27    10.  Notwithstanding  any  other  provision  of  this   section,   the
    28  provisions of this section shall not apply to officers or employees paid
    29  on a fee schedule basis.
    30    11. In order to provide for the annual-salaried officers and employees
    31  to  whom  this  section  applies who are not allocated to salary grades,
    32  performance advancements and payments in proportion to those provided to
    33  persons to whom this section applies who are allocated to salary grades,
    34  the director of the budget is authorized to add appropriate  adjustments
    35  to  the  compensation  which  such  officers and employees are otherwise
    36  entitled to receive. The director of the budget shall issue certificates

    38  which  adjustments  are made pursuant to the provisions of this subdivi-
    39  sion, and a copy of each such certificate shall be filed with the  state

    42  means committee.
    43    12.  Notwithstanding  any of the foregoing provisions of this section,
    44  any increase in compensation may be withheld in whole or  in  part  from
    45  any such unit members to whom the provisions of this section apply when,
    46  in  the  opinion  of  the director of the division of the budget and the
    47  director of employee relations, such increase is not warranted or is not
    48  appropriate for any reason.
    49    § 4. Additional compensation for all members of the security  supervi-
    50  sors unit who are in full-time annual-salaried employment status.
    51    1.  In recognition of the general requirement for full-time annual-sa-
    52  laried employees of the state in the security supervisors unit to assem-
    53  ble for briefing prior to the commencement of duties, where and  to  the
    54  extent  an  agreement  so  provides,  each  such employee except such an
    55  employee receiving additional compensation pursuant to subdivision 5  of

        A. 10527                            8

     1  section  134  of the civil service law, shall receive additional compen-
     2  sation in recognition of pre-shift briefing.

     4  unit shall be compensated for pre-shift briefing in accordance with  the
     5  terms of the agreement covering certain members of the security supervi-
     6  sors  unit.  No  payments  authorized  pursuant to this section and such
     7  negotiated agreement shall be made to an  employee  who  is  in  non-pay
     8  status for that day.
     9    3.  Any such additional compensation pursuant to this section shall be
    10  paid in addition to and shall not be a  part  of  the  employee's  basic
    11  annual salary and shall not be included as compensation for the purposes
    12  of  computation of overtime pay; provided, however, that such additional
    13  compensation shall be included for retirement purposes.  Notwithstanding
    14  the foregoing provisions of this section or of any other law, such addi-
    15  tional  compensation  shall  be in lieu of the continuation of any other
    16  additional compensation for such employees in recognition  of  pre-shift
    17  briefing.
    18    § 5. Command pay.
    19    1.  Pursuant  to  the  terms  of an agreement between the state and an
    20  employee organization entered into pursuant to article 14 of  the  civil
    21  service  law  covering members of the collective negotiating unit desig-
    22  nated as security supervisors, effective April 1, 2023, security  super-
    23  visors  command  pay  shall  continue  to  be two thousand eight hundred

    27  hundred seventy-four dollars.
    28    2.  These payments will be equally divided over the 26 payroll periods
    29  in each fiscal year and shall count as  compensation  for  overtime  and
    30  retirement purposes.
    31    § 6. Hazardous duty pay.
    32    1.  Pursuant  to the terms of an agreement covering certain members of

    34  tration,  are  full-time  annual-salaried  employees, have completed one
    35  year of service in the bargaining unit and, notwithstanding  any  incon-
    36  sistent  provision of law, rule or regulation to the contrary, where and
    37  to the extent that an agreement so provides, effective  April  1,  2023,
    38  this  payment  shall  continue  to  be $200 annually. Effective April 1,
