 with the hiring rate, job rate, or step 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6 of the sala-
 ry  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, step 1, 2,  3,  4,  5,  6,  or  job  rate,
 respectively, of such salary grade as contained in the appropriate sala-

 of  the  budget  may  reduce the salary of any such position which is or
 becomes vacant.
   10. The increases in salary provided in subdivisions two, three, four,
 five and six 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

 ees serving on a seasonal basis, except as determined by the director of
 the budget.
   11.  In  order  to provide for the officers and employees to whom this

 those provided to persons to whom this section applies who are allocated
 to salary grades, the director of the budget is authorized to add appro-
 priate adjustments and/or payments to the compensation which such  offi-
 cers  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 comp-
 troller, the state department of civil  service,  the  chairman  of  the
 senate finance committee and the chairman of the assembly ways and means

 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 subdivi-
 sion shall be determined on the basis  of  such  lower  graded  position
 provided, however, that the increases in salary provided in subdivisions
 two,  three,  four,  five  and  six of this section shall not cause such
 officer's or employee's salary to exceed the  job  rate  of  such  lower
 graded position.
   14. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing provisions 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 budg-
 et and  the  director  of  employee  relations,  such  increase  is  not
 warranted or is not appropriate for any reason.
   § 5. Location compensation for certain state officers and employees in
 collective   negotiating   units.   Notwithstanding   any   inconsistent
 provisions of law, officers and employees, including  seasonal  officers
 and  employees  who shall receive the compensation provided for pursuant
 to this section on a pro-rated  basis,  except  part-time  officers  and
 employees,  in  the  collective  negotiating unit designated as the rent
 regulation services negotiating unit, whose principal place  of  employ-
 ment  or,  in  the  case  of a field employee, whose official station as
 determined in accordance with the regulations  of  the  comptroller,  is
 located in the city of New York, or in the county of Rockland, Westches-
 ter,  Nassau or Suffolk shall continue to receive a downstate adjustment
 at the annual rate of three thousand twenty-six dollars.  Such  location
 payments shall be in addition to and shall not be a part of an officer's
 or  employee's  basic  annual salary, and shall not affect or impair any
 performance advancements or other rights or benefits to which an officer
 or employee may be entitled by law,  provided,  however,  that  location
 payments  shall  be included as compensation for purposes of computation
 of overtime pay and for retirement purposes.
   § 6. Notwithstanding any inconsistent provision of law, where  and  to
 the  extent  that any agreement between the state and an employee organ-
 ization entered into pursuant to article 14 of the civil service law  so
 provides  on  behalf  of  employees  in  the collective negotiating unit
 designated as the rent regulation services negotiating unit,  the  state
 shall  contribute  an  amount  designated  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 in this act and shall not be part of  basic  annual  salary
 for overtime or retirement purposes.
   §  7. Notwithstanding any provision of law to the contrary, the appro-
 priations contained in this act shall be available to the state for  the
 payment  and  publication  of  grievance and arbitration settlements and
 awards pursuant to articles 31 and  33  of  the  collective  negotiating
 agreement  between  the state and the employee organization representing
 the collective  negotiating  unit  designated  as  the  rent  regulation
 services negotiating unit.

 ing to resolve matters of mutual concern and implementing any agreements

 director of the budget and the  comptroller  a  letter  certifying  that
 there  is in effect with respect to such negotiating unit a collectively
 negotiated agreement, ratified by the  membership,  which  provides  for
 such increases and modifications and which are fully executed in writing
 with the state pursuant to article 14 of the civil service law.

 director  of the budget is authorized to allocate to the various depart-
 ments and agencies, from any appropriations available in any  fund,  the

 or employee participating in a special annuity program pursuant  to  the
 provisions  of  article  8-C 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 he or she would otherwise be entitled by

 shall  be  based  upon  the  salary  of such officer or employee without
 regard to the reduction authorized by such article.
