The salary increases and benefit modifications, and any other modifications to the terms and conditions of employment provided for by this act for state employees in the professional services unit, shall not be implemented until the director of employee relations has deliv- ered, to the director of the budget and the comptroller, a certificate that there is in effect with respect to such negotiating unit a collec- tively negotiated agreement which provides for such increases and modifications and which is fully executed in writing with the state pursuant to article 14 of the civil service law, and ratified pursuant to the ratification procedure of the employee organization. S 10. Notwithstanding any other provision of law to the contrary, where, and to the extent that, the agreement so provides, an employee is affected as a result of the state's exercise of its right to contract out, and in the event that such affected employee obtains employment with the contractor, the employee shall not be barred from accepting such employment as provided for in the agreement. S 11. Notwithstanding any inconsistent provision of law, where and to the extent that any agreement between the state and the employee organ- ization entered into pursuant to article 14 of the civil service law so provides on behalf of employees in the professional services unit, effective January 1, 2014, the state shall contribute an amount desig- nated in such agreement and for the period covered by such agreement to the accounts of such employees enrolled for dependent care deductions pursuant to subdivision 7 of section 201-a of the state finance law. Such amounts shall be from funds appropriated herein and shall not be part of basic annual salary for overtime or retirement purposes. S 12. Date of entitlement to salary increase. Notwithstanding the provisions of this act or of any other law, the increase in salary or compensation of any officer or employee provided by this act shall be added to the salary or compensation of such officer or employee at the beginning of that payroll period the first day of which is nearest to the effective date of such increase as provided in this act, or at the beginning of the earlier of two payroll periods the first days of which are nearest but equally near to the effective date of such increase as provided in this act, provided, however, that for the purposes of deter- mining the salary of such officer or employee upon reclassification, reallocation, appointment, promotion, transfer, demotion, reinstatement or other change of status, such salary increase shall be deemed to be effective on the date thereof as prescribed in this act, and the payment thereof pursuant to this section on a date prior thereto, instead of on such effective date, and shall not operate to confer any additional salary rights or benefits on such officer or employee. Payment of such salary increase may be deferred pursuant to section thirteen of this act. S 13. Deferred payment of salary increase. Notwithstanding the provisions of any other section of this act or of any other law, pending payment pursuant to this act of the basic annual salaries of incumbents A. 8030 11 of positions subject to this act, such incumbents shall receive, as partial compensation for services rendered, the rate of compensation otherwise payable in their respective positions. An incumbent holding a position subject to this act at any time during the period from the effective dates of the salary increases provided for in this act until the time when basic annual salaries are first paid pursuant to this act for such services in excess of the compensation actually received there- for, shall be entitled to a lump sum payment for the difference between the salary to which such incumbent is entitled for such services and the compensation actually received therefor. Such lump sum payments shall be made as soon as practicable. The amounts paid under this act shall count as compensation earned during the year or years for which it is calcu- lated and not as compensation earned wholly in the year in which it is paid. Notwithstanding any law, rule or regulation to the contrary, no member of the professional services unit to whom the provisions of this act apply shall be entitled to, or owed, any interest or other penalty for any reason on any monies due to such member pursuant to the terms of this act and the terms of the agreement covering employees in the professional services unit. S 14. Use of appropriations. The comptroller is authorized to pay any amounts required during the fiscal year commencing April 1, 2013, by the provisions of this act for any state department or agency from any appropriation or other funds available to such state department or agen- cy for personal service or for other related employee benefits during such fiscal year. To the extent that such appropriations are insuffi- cient in any fund to accomplish the purposes herein set forth, the director of the budget is authorized to allocate to the various depart- ments and agencies, from any appropriations available in any fund, the amounts necessary to pay such amounts. The aforementioned appropriations shall be available for payment of any liabilities or obligations incurred prior to April 1, 2013 in addition to current liabilities. S 15. Payment from special or administrative funds. If the compen- sation to which officers and employees of the state are otherwise enti- tled is payable from a special or administrative fund or funds of the state, other than the general fund or the capital projects fund of the state, the increase in compensation to which such officers or employees are entitled under this act shall be payable from such other fund or funds in the same manner as such other compensation. If the amounts appropriated or allocable from such other fund or funds are insufficient to accomplish the purposes of this act, the director of the budget is hereby authorized to allocate such additional sums from such other fund or funds as may be necessary therefor. S 16. Effect of participation in special annuity program. No employee participating in a special annuity program pursuant to the provisions of article 8-C of title 1 of the education law shall, by reason of an increase in compensation pursuant to this act, suffer any reduction of the salary adjustment to which such officer or employee would otherwise be entitled by reason of participation in such program, and such salary adjustment shall be based upon the salary of such officer or employee without regard to the reduction authorized by said article. S 17. Appropriations.
