     1  shall be increased by the salary  increase  amounts  specified  in  this
     2  section.  If  a  position is created and filled by the appointment of an
     3  officer or employee who is subject to the provisions  of  this  section,
     4  the  salary  otherwise  provided for such position shall be increased in
     5  the same manner as though such position had been in existence but  unen-
     6  cumbered.
     7    10. The increases in salary provided in subdivisions two, three, four,
     8  five  and  six of this section, shall apply on a prorated basis to offi-
     9  cers and employees, otherwise eligible to receive an increase in salary,

    14  ing on an hourly, per diem, or seasonal basis, except as  determined  by
    15  the director of the budget.
    16    11.  In  order  to provide for the officers and employees to whom this
    17  section applies who are not allocated to salary grades, but are paid  on
    18  an annual basis, increases and payments pursuant to subdivision eight of
    19  this  section  in  proportion  to those provided to persons to whom this
    20  section applies who are allocated to salary grades, the director of  the
    21  budget  is  authorized to add appropriate adjustments and/or payments to
    22  the compensation which such officers and employees are  otherwise  enti-
    23  tled  to  receive.  The  director of the budget shall issue certificates
    24  which shall contain schedules  of  positions  and  the  salaries  and/or
    25  payments thereof for which adjustments and/or payments are made pursuant
    26  to  the  provisions of this subdivision, and a copy of each such certif-
    27  icate shall be filed with the state comptroller, the state department of

    35  position from a redeployment list pursuant to subdivision 1  of  section
    36  79  of  the civil service law who continues to receive his or her former
    37  salary pursuant to such subdivision shall be determined on the basis  of
    38  such  lower  graded  position  provided,  however, that the increases in
    39  salary provided in this  section  shall  not  cause  such  officer's  or
    40  employee's salary to exceed the job rate of such lower graded position.
    41    14. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing provisions of this section or
    42  of  any  law  to the contrary, the director of the budget may reduce the
    43  salary of any position which is vacant or which becomes vacant, so  long
    44  as  the  position,  if encumbered, would be subject to the provisions of
    45  this section. The director of the budget does  not  need  to  provide  a
    46  reason for such reduction.
    47    15. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing provisions of this section or
    48  of any law to the contrary, any increase in compensation may be withheld
    49  in  whole  or  in  part from any employee to whom the provisions of this
    50  section are applicable when, in the opinion of the director of the budg-
    51  et and  the  director  of  employee  relations,  such  increase  is  not
    52  warranted or is not appropriate for any reason.
    53    §  8.  Compensation  for certain employees of the contract colleges at
    54  Cornell and Alfred universities. 1. During the period April 1,  2021  to

    56  sional  service, except those positions in the Cornell service and main-

        S. 9478                            11

     2  agreement  between  Cornell  University  and  the  employee organization
     3  representing employees in such positions and except those  positions  in
     4  the  Alfred  service and maintenance unit which are subject to the terms
     5  of a collective bargaining agreement between Alfred University  and  the
     6  employee  organization  representing  employees  in  such  positions, in
     7  institutions under the management and  control  of  Cornell  and  Alfred
     8  universities  as  representatives  of the board of trustees of the state
     9  university may be increased pursuant to  plans  approved  by  the  state
    10  university  trustees.  Such plans may include new salary schedules which
    11  shall supersede the salary schedules then in effect applicable  to  such
    12  employees.  Such  increases  in  basic annual salary rates, exclusive of
    13  performance advancement payments or merit  recognition  payments,  shall
    14  not  exceed  in the aggregate the payments provided in subdivisions two,
    15  three, four, five and six of section seven of this act,  for  incumbents
    16  of positions subject to this subdivision. Such plans may provide, within
    17  the  appropriations  available  therefor,  an amount for distribution in
    18  whole or in part for meritorious service by Cornell and Alfred universi-
    19  ties, in their discretion, with the approval  of  the  state  university
    20  trustees to the incumbents of such positions.
    21    2.  For  the  purposes  of  this  section,  the basic annual salary of
    22  employees is that salary which is obtained through direct  appropriation
    23  of state moneys for the purpose of paying wages. Nothing in this section
    24  shall  prevent payment of additional amounts to incumbents of such posi-
    25  tions in the nonprofessional service in addition  to  the  basic  annual
    26  salary; provided, however, that the amounts required for such additional
    27  payment,  and  the cost of fringe benefits attributable to such payment,
    28  as determined by the comptroller, are made available  to  the  state  in
    29  accordance  with  the procedures established by the state university for
    30  such purposes.
    31    3. Notwithstanding the  foregoing  provisions  of  this  section,  any
    32  increase  in  compensation  provided  by this section may be withheld in
    33  whole or in part from any officer or employee when, in  the  opinion  of
    34  the director of the budget, such withholding is necessary to reflect the
    35  job  performance of such officer or employee, or to maintain appropriate
    36  salary relationships among officers or employees of  the  state,  or  to
    37  reduce state expenditures to acceptable levels, or when such increase is
    38  not  warranted  or  is  not appropriate for any reason and the salary of
    39  such officer or employee is set at  the  discretion  of  the  appointing
    40  authority.
    41    4.  Notwithstanding  the foregoing provisions of this subdivision, act
    42  or any other provision of law, rule or regulation to the  contrary,  the
    43  contract  colleges  at Cornell and Alfred universities are authorized to
    44  provide for a procedure for the  repayment  of  salaries  withheld  from
    45  incumbents  of  positions  subject  to  this subdivision as described in
    46  subdivision one of this section, pursuant to subdivision 2-a of  section
    47  200  of the state finance law in lieu of the lump sum payment authorized
    48  by subparagraph 3 of paragraph (a) of such subdivision, subject  to  the
    49  approval  of  the state university trustees. Further, Cornell and Alfred
    50  universities are authorized to provide  that  the  salary  of  employees
    51  newly  hired  on  or after September 1, 1992 shall not be subject to the
    52  provisions of subdivision 2-a of section 200 of the state finance law.
    53    § 9. For employees in the administrative services unit,  institutional
    54  services  unit,  operational  services unit and division of military and

     2  civil service law a lump sum payment of $3,000 shall  be  made  to  each
     3  employee  in  such  units in full-time annual salaried employment status
     4  who  was (i) active on the date of ratification of the agreement between
     5  the state and the employee organization covering such employee and  (ii)
     6  in  continuous  service, as defined by paragraph (c) of subdivision 3 of

     9  tive  April  6,  2023  for  officers  and employees on the institutional
    10  payroll except such payment shall be made to an  eligible  employee  who
    11  retires  directly  from state service between the dates in (i) and (ii).
    12  Such lump sum shall not be considered salary for retirement purposes and
    13  shall not become part of basic annual salary. Notwithstanding the  fore-
    14  going  provisions  of this subdivision, officers and employees who would
    15  have otherwise been eligible to receive such lump sum payment,  but  who
    16  were not on the payroll on such date, shall be eligible for said payment
    17  if  they  return  to  full-time employment status during the fiscal year
    18  2023 without a break  in  continuous  service.  Such  payment  shall  be
    19  prorated for employees in less than full-time annual salaried service.
    20    §  10.  Location compensation for certain state officers and employees
    21  in  collective  negotiating  units.  Notwithstanding  any   inconsistent

    33  ble  to  receive  location pay on March 31, 1985, shall receive location
    34  pay at the rate of $200 per year provided they continue to be  otherwise
    35  eligible;  (2)  in  the  city of New York, or in the county of Rockland,

    48  location  payments shall be in addition to and shall not be a part of an
    49  officer's or employee's basic annual salary, and  shall  not  affect  or
    50  impair any performance advancements or other rights or benefits to which
    51  an  officer  or employee may be entitled by law, provided, however, that
    52  location payments shall be included  as  compensation  for  purposes  of
    53  computation  of  overtime  pay and for retirement purposes. For the sole

    49  of  any  law  to the contrary, the director of the budget may reduce the
    50  salary of any position which is vacant or which becomes vacant, so  long

    12  receive  an  increase  in salary pursuant to this act who are paid on an
    13  hourly or per diem basis, employees serving on a part-time  or  seasonal

    27  beginning of the earlier of two payroll periods the first days of  which
    28  are nearest but equally near to the effective dates of such increases as
    29  provided in this act, provided, however, that for the purposes of deter-
    30  mining  the  salary  of  such officer or employee upon reclassification,
    31  reallocation, appointment, promotion, transfer, demotion,  reinstatement
    32  or  other  change  of status, such salary increase shall be deemed to be
    33  effective on the date thereof as prescribed in this act, and the payment
    34  thereof pursuant to this section on a date prior thereto, instead of  on
    35  such  effective  date, shall not operate to confer any additional salary
    36  rights or benefits on such officer or employee. Payment of  such  salary
    37  increase may be deferred pursuant to section fourteen of this act.
    38    §  14.  Deferred  payment  of  salary  increase.  Notwithstanding  the

    42  incumbents shall receive, as partial compensation for services rendered,
    43  the  rate  of  salary  and other compensation otherwise payable in their
    44  respective positions. An incumbent holding a position  subject  to  this
    45  act  at  any  time  during the period from April 1, 2021, until the time
    46  when basic annual salaries and other compensation  due  are  first  paid
    47  pursuant to this act for such services in excess of the salary and other
    48  compensation actually received therefor, shall be entitled to a lump sum
    49  payment  for the difference between the salary and other compensation to
    50  which such incumbent is entitled for such services and  the  salary  and
    51  other compensation actually received.
    52    §  15.  1. Notwithstanding the provisions of any other section of this
    53  act or any other provision of law  to  the  contrary,  any  increase  in
    54  compensation  provided:  (a)  in  this  act,  or  (b)  as  a result of a
    55  promotion, appointment, or advancement to a position in a higher  salary
    56  grade,  or (c) pursuant to paragraph (c) of subdivision 6 of section 131

        S. 9478                            28

     3  graph  (a)  of subdivision 3 of section 13 of chapter 732 of the laws of
     4  1988,  as  amended, may be withheld in whole or in part from any officer
     5  or employee when, in the opinion of the director  of  the  budget,  such
     6  withholding  is necessary to reflect the job performance of such officer
     7  or employee, or to maintain appropriate salary relationships among offi-
     8  cers or employees of the state,  or  to  reduce  state  expenditures  to
     9  acceptable levels or when, in the opinion of the director of the budget,
    10  such  increase is not warranted or is not appropriate. As a result of an
    11  exercise of the director's authority under  this  act  to  withhold  any
    12  increase,  such  salary  schedules as defined in section one of this act
    13  shall be implemented and/or modified by the director of the  budget,  as
    14  necessary,   consistent  with  the  provision  or  withholding  of  such
    15  increases pursuant to this section.
    16    2. Notwithstanding the provisions of any other section  of  this  act,
    17  the  salary  increase  provided for in this act shall not be implemented
    18  until the director of the budget delivers notice to the comptroller that
    19  such amounts may be paid.
    20    § 16. Use of appropriations.  Notwithstanding  any  provision  of  the
    21  state  finance  law  or  any other provision of law to the contrary, the

    24  any state department or agency from any  appropriation  or  other  funds
    25  available to such state department or agency for personal service or for
    26  other  related  employee benefits during such fiscal year. To the extent
    27  that such appropriations are insufficient in any fund to accomplish  the
    28  purposes  herein  set forth, the director of the budget is authorized to
    29  allocate to the various departments and  agencies,  from  any  appropri-
    30  ations available in any fund, the amounts necessary to pay such amounts.
    31  The  aforementioned appropriations shall be available for payment of any
    32  liabilities or obligations incurred prior to April 1, 2022  in  addition
    33  to current liabilities.
    34    §  17.  Notwithstanding  any provision of the state finance law or any
    35  other provision of law to the contrary, the sum of $130,000,000 is here-

    41  service, other than personal service and fringe benefits, and  to  carry
    42  out the provisions of this act. No money shall be available for expendi-
    43  ture  from  this  appropriation until a certificate of approval has been
    44  issued by the director of the budget and a copy of such  certificate  or
    45  any  amendment  thereto  has  been filed with the state comptroller, the
    46  chair of the senate finance committee and the chair of the assembly ways
    47  and means committee. The monies hereby appropriated  are  available  for
    48  payment  of  any  liabilities or obligations incurred prior to or during
    49  the state fiscal year April 1, 2022 through March  31,  2023.  For  this
    50  purpose,  the  monies appropriated shall remain in full force and effect
    51  for the payment of liabilities incurred on or before March 31, 2023.
    52    § 18. This act shall take effect immediately and shall  be  deemed  to
    53  have  been  in full force and effect on and after April 1, 2021.  Appro-
    54  priations made by this act shall remain in full  force  and  effect  for
    55  liabilities       incurred       through       March      31,      2023.
